L.A.S., to M. Mitoux; 3 pages in-8. About his business in Paris, especially concerning the Champagne wine trade. He asks Mitoux to give him "an exact statement of all the wine you have sent me for a year. I have lost my book. [...] You will send 300 bottles of wine to Mr. Hazon at his Hotel in Rue Ste-Anne"... He needs to make money, and asks, when he sells the red wine, to arrange with the merchants for the price so that he can get the money he will need for his trip to the waters where he will certainly go this year... "Mr. Curé is a fool to leave his place. Before 5 years from here he would have been safe from everything and in his country"...
