Translation of letter
‘Paris this 22nd. Jan.
I neglect you, Madam the Countess: but it is very much against my will. You must therefore forgive me. Will you receive me on Tuesday at eleven o’clock? a thousand and a thousand pardons if I give you five of my days and my moments instead of taking yours, it must be agreed that this is the universal worlds. but all is topsy-turvy today. If my proposal suits you, you will give me by the pains of my answers. your silences now. but if I must I occasion the slightest derangements, give me simply your day, and I will try to extend myself. Madam the Countess all my will become possible, when it is a question of giving you the slightest proofs of the profound respects that I have vowed to you.
Edgeworth’.
