Brussels, September 17, 1866.

My Dear DEVINCENTIES: I have received through Blain, with great pleasure, the details you send me about my private interests. I thank you for them very sincerely. I am glad to know that my horses do not consume my savings. If you can rent my house for $140 I shall be delighted, provided it leaves me the right to occupy some rooms in it at my return, which has been delayed only to follow the Empress’s instructions. As for my part, I am very uneasy here. I long to return there and put myself under the orders of my sovereign, to take my small part in the difficulties which must soon break out. Continue, my dear friend, being devoted to our Emperor, and be sure that if, for the time being, he loses sight of you, he is not able to forget the devoted services you have rendered him. If you can give me details of the situation, I trust in your good friendship you will do it. Remember me kindly to Lambley and Sierra, and believe in my affectionate sentiments.

F. ELOIN.
