Summary
Saying that he will only exhibit his "Francesca da Rimini" with the door (i.e., "The Gates of Hell"); adding that this means for the next exhibition he will have only the bust of Victor Hugo and a bust of either [Henri] Rochefort or [Jules] Dalou; mentioning another exhibition; saying that he would very much like to show "The Age of Bronze" in London, but it belongs to the French state and he doesn't know if he will get permission to exhibit it.
