He has received the letter offering "your collection of ancient art objects for the sum of 40,000 fr. -I thank you for the proposal you are making. For the moment, however, I cannot take advantage of it - I hope to go to Paris in the course of this winter or next spring, and I will be delighted to take advantage of this opportunity to get to know you and visit your collection, which I have no doubt must be very remarkable." .... A letter addressed to him by the firm Ceveux & Co of Calais, announcing the arrival by liner of six boxes of furniture coming from London (1842) is attached.
