Summary
Noting that he has dined with Strong "last night" and will dine with Lautrec tonight; discussing their recent letters and the timing of their delivery; enclosing an order for some money, presumably owed to O'Riordan; hoping the delay in sending it hasn't caused inconvenience; noting how long it took him to obtain a French postal order.
