Paris, 3°? 28 September 1882 

Dear Freon, 

A letter from Laura in which I had enclosed a note ?°* was acci- 
dentally left lying on the writing-desk at Laura’s and so cannot be 
sent off before the post goes. 39° But in order that no time may be lost, 
I would again ask you to send me some bank notes from London as 
soon as possible (address as before to Argenteuil), in case Dr Dourlen, 
as I hope, allows me ro cross THE CHANNEL. 

Today rain is pelting down from the so-called heavens, despite the 
fact that Alphand continues to fear a famine d’eau.* 

At the same time, drop me a couple of Lines as To THE state of the 
weather in London.
