English translation

Julien is coming to you unexpectedly, my dear Broumer. Give him the [six louis?] in rejected pieces which you hold for me, and besides whatever you think you ought to send me.

I have no news either from you or from anyone concerning Matthieu. I am very impatient; tell me, then, how matters stand.

The man recommended by Mr [Gendelet?] and the one recommended by Mr [Lainé?] are, naturally, welcome.

Farewell; I embrace you with all my heart.
[flourish]

[Turned addition above the address]
I still have some wish for [one uncertain word] the trees and shrubs of [deleted: Cottin?] Michel. Tell me, then, what you think of it. They should doubtless be planted [uncertain words; physical loss], but a good exposure should be chosen. Send me [a few uncertain words] information.

[Turned addition near the seal]
[Acknowledge?] receipt [of?] your [small?] account.
