41, QUAI D’ORSAY

My Dear Friend

Let me send you many wishes for the happiness of your son – No doubt he has chosen well – and a bright future opens for him.[1]

It is the only thing in life – when we get older – to see our children happy, and to see our youth come to life again through them.

I am sending him a trifle

[Page 2]

for him to remember his father’s friends, and the many wishes we all [foster?] for him.

Please believe me – dear Mr Laszlo – | Yours very truly

Gramont Noailles

Poor Boson de Valency just lost his dear friend – the lady in blue it is a terrible grief to him –
