Montrouge. March, 1857 



Sir, 



I began your plates in January the way I had promised. I placed the three 

 largest figures in the middle surrounded by a médian on each side.This will be a 

 job that will take much tirne. 



I did not think it was urgent to finish this immediately, as this would not help you 

 at ail. I hope I can show you thèse plates on your return. The second one that has 

 many less détails will not take long to finish. 



Receive, Sir, the assurances of my respect. 



Martin Schmelz
