69 rue des Dames
Paris, the 21 nov. 1900
Sir, and dear Master,
I have sent the essay that I wrote about you to Cosmos Catholicus in Rome.[1] The editor (Marquis Mac Swiney,[2] Palais Falconieri, 1 Via Giulia, Rome) is expecting either a negative or half-tone engraving of your portrait of Pope Leo XIII [4509] – which you could order from Angerer, in Vienna – or a good photograph of this painting, so that we can make a negative of it in Rome. An accident happened to the one you took care of sending me.
Yours faithfully,
Boyer d’Agen
