ing into a garden
would be most desirable. There must be tranquillity,
quietness, no blacksmith in the neighbourhood. Respectable
stairs. The windows exposed to the sun, absolutely to the
south. Further, there must be no smoke, no bad odour, but a
fine view, a garden, or at least a large court. A garden would
be best. In the Faubourg St. Germain are many gardens, also in
the Faubourg St. Honore. Find something quickly, something
splendid, and near me. As soon as you have any chance, write
immediately, don't be lazy; or get hold of Grzymala, go and
see, both of you, take et que cela finisse. I send you a plan
of the arrangement of the apartments. If you find something
like this, draw the plan, or take it at once, which will be
better than letting it slip out of your hands.

Mr. Mardelle is a decent man, and no fool, he was not always a
portier. He is ordered to go and see you whenever he finds
anything. You must also on your part be on the look-out, but
let us keep that between us. I embrace you and Johnnie also.
You will have our true gratitude when you find a house.

Pas de voisinage, surtout blacksmith, nor anything that
belongs to him. For God's sake I beg of you take an active
interest in the matter, my dear friend!

I thank you for all your kind actions.

In the anteroom you will direct the grey curtains to be hung
which were in my cabinet with the piano, and in the bedroom
the same that were in the be
