Summary
Saying that he hasn't received the etchings by [Jean-Paul] Laurens; adding that Henley put the wrong house number on one of his recent letters (183 instead of 182 rue de l'Université) and he only received it with difficulty; telling him always to put "dépôt des marbres" on letters and packages addressed to him; saying that he will do what Henley has asked, but his sculpture was badly exhibited at the Institute; adding that he has sent his "Age of Bronze" to London.
