[telegraph form:]
I am so sorry about tonight! In my desire to pass the evening with you both, I forgot entirely that this is the night of the dinner given to [Bésin?] and myself by the Société Internationale[3]!
So that we must put off all we have to say - and there is so much to be said since the other day!
They have been going on "staggering humanity"!
With my kindest regards and sincere apologies
