At The Close Of The Autumn I Shall Resume My Duties At Weymar;
Later On I Shall Go To Vienna And Hungary, And Proceed Thence To
Italy By Way Of Constantinople, Athens, And Malta.
If, therefore, one of these fine days you should happen to be in
the humor, send me a word in reply about the camellias; if you
will send your letter to my mother (20, Rue Louis le Grand) I
shall get it immediately.
In every way, count upon my profound
friendship and most respectful devotion always and everywhere.
Lyons, May 21st, 1845

Oh no, there is not, and there never could be, any indiscretion
from you towards me. Believe me that I do not deceive myself as
to the motive which determined you to write to me with such great
kindness, and if it happened that I replied too sanguinely and at
too great length I beg you to excuse me. Above all do not punish
me by withdrawing from me the smallest particle of your sacred
friendship.
M. de Lamartine, with whom I have been spending two or three days
at Montceau, told me that you had read to him "Les Forgerons," so
I played him the music. Permit me still to hope that some day you
may be willing to complete the series, and that I, on my side,
may not be unworthy of this task.
Yours most heartily,
