[London,] 10 August 1867 

Dear Frep, 

Enclosed charming letter from Dronke in Manchester, received 
today. He has taken about a fortnight to give me the good advice 
to ‘sell’ wine and coffee to cover the cost of transport! 

By the by, the little Frenchman was here again today and 
threatened to write to Orn Lafargue.* All I could do was to appease 
him with the promise that he would have his money on Tuesday 
morning. 

Parcel of Courrier francais along with 2 Diplomatic Reviews now due 
will be despatched on Monday. 

Salut. 
Your 
K. M.
