He remains in Paris for several reasons, including a recent change in passport regulations. He hopes to depart for Brussels on Monday with Cheslyn and the courier, if he is well enough. Paris is quiet during Holy Week. He is sending his sister some songs and music via friends who are shortly to return to London. He is amused by rumours that he himself is in London and is about to marry. He intends to learn to speak fluent Italian, which he can already understand. He regrets that lameness forced the sale of his horse.
Dated at: Hotel de Bristol, [Place Vendome], Paris.
