To Mr. E.K.I am completely unaware of the inscription mentioned in your letter dated August 2nd and sent from Guingamp. In short, I have never been to Brittany. In addition, I have never heard about this Manè, Thécel, and Pares of another gender as you call him. If he was able to produce in you a positive impression you must thank the unknown author. In any case, it will be a pleasure to welcome you when visiting Paris but I will only be back in the beginning of October. It will be a pleasure to give you all the explanations you wish in person.
