He has done his commission well, and has given his card in safe hands, "as well as a small explanatory note from me [...] most clear". He reminds him of the commission with which he entrusted him: "to find in Paris, a commissionaire who will take care of sending the newspapers from Paris to London [...] you would oblige a very good man and would give me great pleasure. [...] Here I am again for probably three months, after which, provided with testimonies in good standing, - I leave again and fix myself for the Capital of the World, "where one laughs", as the poet says! There, life more monastic than ever, with for only joy, the little one [Lucien Létinois ] to see from time to time. - It goes without saying that if you can find a job, even a modest one, anything a little honorable, - let me know [...]. As the caution of the snake is always in order, I will ask you to keep silent about me and especially about my address, this is very serious"... He waits to hear from her and "if sometimes you wanted to send me packets of newspapers, that would be a beating!"... He leaves his address, "2, Westburn Terrace, Bournemouth"...
