TALBOT1144

J’ai l’honneur de faire mille complimens à Monsieur Talbot et de lui renvoyer avec tous mes remerciemens les échantillons qu’il a eu la bonté de me confier. Mes occupations m’ont empêché de les lui porter moi même. J’espère qu’elles me permettront bientôt d’aller lui renouveler l’expression de ma considération la plus distinguée.

Translation:

I have the honour of sending all my regards to Mr Talbot and of returning to him, with my profuse thanks, the samples with which he was so kind as to entrust me. My work has prevented me from bringing them to him in person. I hope it will soon allow me to go and express once again my sincere respect.
