Sir, 



One month ago I took the botanical proofs and drawings to Mr Fleischmann. I made the 

 corrections in the most exact way. Mr. Fleischmann made me hope that in 8 to 10 days I would 

 receive the money in payment. 400 Fr. for the engravings and 25 Fr. for the steel plate. 



I have waited until today. Please pay me as soon as possible. If you had been in Paris this 

 would have been payed a long time ago. I finished the engraving that I began in December, but 

 you were away. In Paris the engravings don't have the habit of waiting so long and as you know 

 we the artists are not rich. 



I would be obliged if you would pay attention to my demands. 



If you have any other engravings I will be pleased to make them for you but they will be no 

 less than 400 Fr. The two frames that I saw at Mr. Fleischman are very long and therefore very 

 difficult. The steel plates will be 25 Fr. 



I have the honor of greeting you and assure you that I will do everything possible to satisfy 

 you.
