Summary
Thanking Henley, to whom he is often indebted; asking if the exhibition in which his bust of Victor Hugo is on display has closed yet, because he is waiting for the bust to be returned; mentioning [Jean-Paul] Laurens's etchings; asking in a postscript about submissions to the Academy, as he wants to exhibit his "Age of Bronze" in bronze.
