My dear Julius

At last I can give you some news of our photos. I am sending off the vignettes by this
post, & I saw the enlargements yesterday, yours was very good & wanted no alteration,
mine had a slight defect, which however they said could be remedied. They have
promised to send them home today, & if they do, I will have mine packed & sent off to
you on Monday. The frames are 35 francs each, so that is 230 francs, or £9 4 sh. Mrs
Parmly went with me to see them. I had a nice drive with her yesterday afternoon. I have
no time for more now, having to be off to my music lessons, besides your real letter was
posted yesterday. I hope that the photos will arrive all alright. 

Goodbye my darling,

accept the best love of your own affectionate

Eugénie N Mourilyan
