4pp., 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition, on lightly-aged paper. She apologises for troubling her 'with a few very important questions referring to the Biarritz life. I mean the Butcher's shop at Bayonne you spoke to the Baron about. Where does the dear man live? Also how have you settled to keep the meat fresh?' She asks for instructions so that she may inform her cook, 'a German who speaks a few words of french & a sort of nigger English'.
