Letter from Édouard Manet, Paris, to Suzanne Manet, 1870 September 20 : autograph manuscript signed.

Writing that they are in a decisive moment; describing the fighting around the city; saying that he hasn't written for several days because he has been on guard; adding that he saw her brothers, Ferdinand and Rudolph Leenhoff, and invited them to come dine with him once a week; mentioning a diplomatic mission that Jules Favre has embarked upon; explaining that he is not sending any newspapers as they no longer receive them, due to all the bridges having been blown up.
