Letter from Charles François Daubigny, Paris, to Barbara Bodichon, 1875 March 2 : Autograph manuscript signed.

Thanking her for her letter of sympathy for the death of Corot and regreting that he was unable to reply sooner because of a long attack of gout, even in his right hand, the one he uses to write. He hopes that if she comes to Paris, he will have the pleasure of seeing her but doesn't know if he will be able to avail himself of her kind invitation. He thanks her for her gift, which he was too ill and plagued by worries to thank her for sooner and tells her that if she still intends to exhibit her water colors in Durand-Ruel's galleries in Paris, she should go to see Charles Deschamps, one of his dealers, as Daubigny has asked him to go see her on his behalf.
