My dear Sir

I am truly mortified
to have to tell you that neither of
the letters you gave me on leaving
N York were delivered on reaching Paris.
They were placed, I presume the day
that I received them in a pamphlet
and on my arrival I recollect hunting
for a long time unsuccessfully for a
letter. I thought I had recd.[received] for my 
brother but not finding it I presumed
I had been mistaken & gave it up
