Dearest Minna,
I'm writing you in greatest haste (in the midst of removal) merely to give you my present address. It is Monsieur R. W., 4. Avenue de Matignon, Champs Elysées, Paris.
I have just taken this very nice and quiet furnished logis for a month. I'll write you particulars tomorrow or the next day. I received your letter of the 6th September, and was highly delighted with it. I couldn't wait for your expected letter at Strassburg, as Devrient was prevented from coming, and I therefore travelled on to Paris without further halt. — So — Adieu for to-day — soon more from
Thy dear Husband.
