{{centre|Monsieur!}}<br />
Permettez moi de Vous remercier bien vivement pour l'honneur et l'{{sic|extrème|extrême}} plaisir que je Vous dois de pouvoir m'associer à tant de musiciens éminents pour concourir à une publication dont le caractère m'est doublement {{sic|simpathique|sympathique}}.<br />
<br />
C'est avec le plus grand empressement que je me suis appliqué, dès que je l'ai pu, à la composition du petit morceau que j'ai l'honneur de Vous envoyer, en Vous priant de vouloir bien le remettre à M. le Directeur du ''Gaulois''.<br />
<br />
{{sic|Sa|Si}} ma bonne étoile me conduit à Paris, croyez, Monsieur, que ce sera pour moi un doux devoir de me présenter chez V[ou]s et de Vous remercier de vive voix pour l'attention flatteuse que Vous voulez bien me témoigner.<br />
<br />
Recevez, Monsieur, l'expression de mes sentiments les plus distinguées.<br />

{{centre|Monsieur!}}<br />
Allow me to thank you most fervently for the honour and extreme pleasure for which I am obliged to you in being able to join so many eminent musicians collaborating with a publication whose character is doubly agreeable to me.<br />
<br />
It is with the greatest haste that I have applied myself — as soon as I was able to do so — to the composition of the small piece which I am honoured to send you, and I would ask you to be so kind as to forward it to the Director of ''Le Gaulois''.<br />
<br />
If my lucky star takes me to [[Paris]], believe me, Monsieur, when I say that it shall be a sweet duty for me to call on you and to thank you in person for the flattering attention which you are so kind as to bestow upon me.<br />
<br />
Please accept, Monsieur, this assurance of my finest sentiments.<br />
