Summary
Proposing that she write an article on the salons of Paris and their continued vitality in the face of despotism and government oppression which, he points out, cannot be exclusively attributed to Bonapartism in France; pointing to the seeming inability of the different governments in France to tolerate an opposition party, mentioning [François] Guizot, and stating that he believes she "will do real good by speaking out in denunciation of the existing state of things."
