Summary
Concerning the purchase of two paintings, and asking Daumier "not to treat [him] too much as a friend," explaining that "A photographer like myself should be ashamed to earn more money than a great artist like you"; Nadar had bought the canvases for 400 ff but thought it equitable to add another 200 ff.
