Summary
Informing him that instead of giving a copy (of an unnamed work) to (Hippolyte) Hostein, it would be better if Flaubert read him the work instead. Asks the recipient to set up an appointment, preferably at Flaubert's apartment. Also would like to know if he should go with the recipient to see Hostein first.
