I love you as an old friend. Embrace Johnnie. Your Thanks for forwarding the parcel. I send you the Prelude, in large characters for Schlesinger and in small characters for Mechetti.

But remember to write on Troupenas's copy: Hamburg, Schubert; Wessel, London. In a few days I shall send you a letter for Mechetti in Vienna, to whom I promised to give some compositions. If you see Dessauer or Schlesinger, ask if it is absolutely necessary to pay postage for the letters sent to Vienna. I embrace you, adieu. Nohant, Sunday . What you have done you have done well. Strange world!

Clip the MS. of the Polonaise to the same size, number the pages, and fold it like the Prelude, add to the whole my letter to Mechetti, and deliver it into Leo's own hands, praying him to send it by the first mail, as Mechetti is waiting for it. If he does not wish to acquire the right of publication for London, tell him to inform me of it by letter.
