Letter with marginal calculations and postscript - Paris, 17 April 1831

English translation

Paris, 17 April 1831.

Here is a cash-office receipt for 33,000 francs, handed over the day before yesterday by [Dufour?]. I gave in exchange a payment order [to the order of?] Messrs [Laf… and Bl…?], drawn on my cash office for 11 May; make a note of it.
Here is a receipt for 17,095.60 in favour of Chaulet.
Here is a receipt of Mr [name undeciphered] and Mrs [name undeciphered], mentioned in their letter.
Here are receipts for:
48 — Mrs Roland;
725 — Mrs [Schlumberger?],
which Mr [Haas?] sends me and with which you will credit them, while notifying them of it in the reply to his letter, which I am still keeping because it contains other matters as well.
I waited until five o’clock before closing my letter [so that I might have?] received yours of yesterday. I do not see it, so I am closing this letter.
A thousand kind regards.
[paraph]

Today’s Moniteur contains the instructions relating to subscriptions to the voluntary loan.
I add only, [undeciphered deleted word], that, in accordance with the Moniteur, you may receive a sum which would be designated as a first quarter without requiring a subscription for the other three.
[paraph]
