I absolutely insist upon the good and loyal services of

Mme.

Giry, my box-keeper, whom you will reinstate in her functions forthwith.

Let me know by a letter handed to

Mme.

Giry, who will see that it reaches me, that you accept, as your predecessors did, the conditions in my memorandum-book relating to my monthly allowance. I will inform you later how you are to pay it to me.
