Summary
Writing that Count d'Orsay had called on him a week ago to convey how much Lady Blessington is enjoying his book on America: "I am really delighted with it, as everybody must be, who can appreciate a work in which good sense and good taste are joined to such talent"; adding that d'Orsay was sorry not to find him at his rooms, and apologizing for not sending her thanks earlier.
