Autograph Letter Signed, in French with translation, to "My dear friend and Father" saying that if he "did not see me during your illness, it was because I knew that you did not see anyone: but you must think that your state of suffering was one of my end-of-year sorrows! I hope that the one we are going into is going to give you health and to all of us who love you. This is one of my most sincere and most usual wishes. I kiss you all as I love you. ..." signed "Your old son", 1 side 8vo., no place, 31st October

Vendredi 31 octobre 1880
Mon cher ami et père,
Si tu ne m'as pas vu pendant ta maladie, c'est que je savais que tu ne voyais personne : mais tu dois penser que ton état de souffrance a été l'une de mes tristesses de fin d'année ! J'espère que celle dans laquelle nous entrons va te rendre à la santé et à nous tous qui t'aimons. C'est un de mes vœux les plus sincères et les plus habituellement présents. Je vous embrasse tous comme je vous aime.
Ton vieux fils.
Ch. Gounod

My dear friend and father,
If you did not see me during your illness, it was because I knew that you did not see anyone: but you must think that your state of suffering was one of my end-of-year sorrows! I hope that the one we are going into is going to give you health and to all of us who love you. This is one of my most sincere and most usual wishes. I kiss you all as I love you.
Your old son.
