C'est fragile surtout a la pluie’ (Translation: ‘The Henry ladies brought me tea and announced their visit for tomorrow, unfortunately my paintings are packed; I put the tea in the small square box, but two boxes will be sent on Tuesday by high speed to the station at Eragny Bazincourt, you will have to send for them and not leave them at the station. It’s fragile, especially in the rain’). In a postscript Pissarro comments on the weather and also remarks ‘Demandes a Rodolphe ce qu'il pense de ce que je te dis a propos de la byciclette’ (Translation: ‘Ask Rodolphe what he thinks of what I tell you about bicycling’).
