Dearest Richard,
At Weymar I cannot raise ten thalers just at present, but I have written at once to Vienna, and in a week's time the sum of a thousand francs, named by you, will be handed to you by my son-in-law, M. Émile Ollivier (avocat au barreau et député de la ville de Paris). Call on him at the end of next week. He lives rue St. Guillaume, No. 29, Faubourg St. Germain.
If it is of use to you to have some conversation with me, I will come to Strassburg for one day, although I find it difficult to leave Weymar at the present moment.
The Princess has had an excellent idea, of which you will hear more before long. She will write to you as soon as she has had an answer with regard to it.
God be with you!
Your telegram arrived a day before your letter which I received last night. Let me have your address; poste restante is not safe.
