No place, no date. 1 p. Small 4to, with blank integral leaf. To an unnamed diplomatic correspondent: "The opportunity of meeting friends who are also men of intelligence comes too infrequently to be missed when chance it does comes. Therefore, my dear diplomat, I accept your invitation with very great pleasure and I am ready to start as from tomorrow. So let me know what day and place have been appointed" (translated from the French).
