From L. A. Errera   25 March 1879

6A, Rue Royale | Bruxelles

March 25 1879

Dear Sir

I hope you will excuse me for not answering your exceedingly kind letter earlier, especially as you honor me with a request for my photograph; but I had not one left.1 I have just received the first copy of a new one, of which I respectfully beg your acceptance. Were it not too presuming, I would venture to ask for yours; this favor I hope you will grant.

Your very kind words are a great encouragement for my friend Gevaert and self, and we feel most proud to receive this consecration of yours on our first steps in Science.2

Yours gratefully | Leo Errera
