Have another souvenir of your daughter, my lovable papa; take it from the hands of our good friend, Le Veillard. How lucky he is to be able to accompany you to Le Havre and how I envy his good fortune! Oh, my worthy and respectable friend, my heart flies on your footsteps, it soars over the vast ocean that shall separate us. For a long time, the idea of your departure has pained me, saddened me; reality tears at my soul…pardon me, pardon me a thousand times if I increase your sorrow. You are going to console yourself in the arms of your daughter, you are going to be surrounded by your grandchildren, everything will distract you, everywhere you shall find women better than I, but where shall I find a friend like you! Never, never…my husband, my two daughters ask me to tell you they will love you, respect you, cherish you forever. For me, my good papa, your friendship, your goodness will be dear to me until my grave. I shall constantly keep them in mind, and if we find in another life what we have most cherished in this one, I shall go in the arms of my good papa and never leave him again. Accept my good wishes for a safe voyage, love always she who shall always love you with all the strength in her heart. Think about her sometimes, and above all, remember that she shall never stop thinking about you, your happiness, and everything related to you. Yes, my worthy friend, every day of my life you shall occupy my thoughts and my heart, it is and shall always be entirely yours.
