Mardi
Mon cher Président et ami,
Je suis vraiment désolé après avoir été si longtemps absent, je tenais beaucoup à assister à votre prochaine réunion, et j'en suis absolument empêché tantôt, par une autre séance à laquelle je ne puis manquer surtout après avoir été prévenu hier seulement.
Je vous envoie tous mes regrets, et si vous nous réunissez de nouveau pour cette question de règlement je vous demande instamment de ne pas choisir le mardi.
Mille amitiés à tous vos collègues et bien affectueusement à vous.
Léo Delibes

Tuesday
My dear President and friend,
I am really sorry after being so long absent, I was very anxious to attend your next meeting, and I am absolutely prevented from doing so this afternoon, at another meeting I can not miss especially after being warned only yesterday.
I send you all my regrets, and if you meet us again for this matter of settlement I urge you not to choose Tuesday.
Thousand amity to all your colleagues and affectionately to you.
Léo Delibes
