Paris, 8 May 1831

I am sending you the [packet?] [M. Chaudrie?]. Please read it.
I have received yesterday’s letter.
You remit to me a letter for the [Syndicate?] announcing dispatch no.66 of 100 million.
Three bills for Lille, [accepted?], for 25,000 francs,
A note of the current account for the first quarter with the Treasury.
Circular. In London, I can see that they are resuming business, but I do not see business resuming, since no commercial paper reaches me from there.
Please have 10 francs sent to the priest of the Madeleine for the enclosed letter.
————
Here is a sale statement for
[5,000?] francs from the loan, at 90, for 14,400 francs; brokerage [included?].

Notes

Documentary annotation: [2?] [underlined]
The packet designation, proper names and the Lille-bill qualifier remain locally uncertain. The sale entry is transcribed as [5,000?], at90, for14,400. These figures are retained as written without reconstructing an arithmetic relationship. The short superscript abbreviation after brokerage is provisionally expanded as included. The signature is also qualified.
