Cher Maitre,
I send you and yours best greetings. I hope that Mrs Whistler[2] is gaining strength and that her people are joyful.
Shall I send Madame Sickert[3] to Rue du Bac[4], or to 86?
And dispatch Sarasate[5] for the time is good - but short.
Que Dieu[6] vous ait dans sa santé et digne garde =
à vous
