Mon cher Monsieur,

Robert me prie de vous informer qu’il vous serait très-reconnaissant dans le cas où, sans vous déranger, vous porriez lui donner la leçon de demain à 5 en lieu de 6 heures de l’après-midi, pour certaine affaire qu’il vous expliquera lui-même. Si cela vous incommode, il vous attendra à l’heure convenue.

Recevez, mon cher Monsieur,

mes salutations les plus

cordiales,

Robert Browning.

My dear Monsieur,

Robert begs me to tell you that he would be very grateful to you if, without inconveniencing yourself, you could give him tomorrow’s lesson at 5 instead of 6 o’clock in the afternoon, because of a certain matter which he will explain to you himself. If this inconveniences you, he will expect you at the agreed hour.

Receive, my dear Monsieur

my most cordial greetings,

Robert Browning.
