He is gone, indeed, for Marault, near Avallon, with his wife and daughter. He returns at the end of June to leave after a few days during which he will find the time, I doubt not, to come to you and present you his best wishes for good health and a long future.” In fine condition, with central vertical and horizontal folds.
