Friday
Sir, Would you be so kind as to look at the enclosed telegram [not present] which I received yesterday evening. It is from the American lady ['grande dame'] your neighbour in the studio. You will see that she is obliged to leave at any moment.
Allow me therefore to devote to her the sitting which you had the kindness to reserve for me today. I promise to make up the lost time and will have the honour, if you are agreeable, to expect you tomorrow, Saturday, at the usual time of 2 o'clock.
I pray you be assured, Sir, with my regrets and all my apologies, of my highest regards.
