Most honored Sir. 



I am sorry to have to admit (verify) that I was not able to see you and pay my 

 respects before you left this city. It would have pleased me to take you to the City 

 Muséum and introduce you to my new favorite places, but I was unable to get 

 around for two days and I learned later from my respected friend, Signor Gan 

 that you had departed. He gave me your regards and told me that you would 

 remember me to Saint Louis and that you would attend to the consignment of 

 snakes and plants that you had proposed to give to this muséum- together with a 

 pledge of plants for me.
