Van Dongen invites his correspondent to spend a full day at home with him, stating `…nous verrons mieux ce que nous pourrons faire et quelles choses vous conviendraient le mieux. Aussi pour le prix´ («…we will better see what we can do and what would suit you best. Also for the price ») Further and to a postscriptum Van Dongen asks her to warn him in advance if she wishes to meet him, and explains why, stating in part `Je suis toujours chez moi tous les matins et l´après midi jusqu´à 4 heures. Si vous voulez venir un soir avertissez-moi par un petit mot. Je suis souvent en vadrouille le soir´ («I am always at home every single morning and afternoon until 4 o'clock. If you want to come one evening let me know with a quick note. I am often out and about in the evening») Paper with attractive Regia Aquila Bank watermark, showing an attractive crowned eagle.
