Dear Sir,
We thank you for your letter of the 7th instant and note what you write. We cannot understand why we have not received as yet any news. If we do not receive an answer by next mail, which we expect within a week or so, we intend telegraphing to ask whether it is in order for us to pay for account of Mr Matsukata 10,000 Francs.
Meantime,
We remain, dear Sir,
Yours faithfully
