My dear D...., I was very sorry to miss you but I could not be sure of going to see you in the morning. I was glad to have seen your charming little boy & girl I could see a strong resemblance even after these many years.
I should be very glad to help you if you care to write an article, but I think I had better wait till I have returned to France and have some quiet and peace of mind. Did you intend to publish it as a paper, or magazine? I will be in France in about a month and if you still care to undertake it I will do all I can to assist.
