Dear Natalie! -- Owing to business affairs which will claim me still longer, it will be impossible for me to come to Trouville before the beginning of September. I am very sorry, but I hope and wish that you will not, on this account, put off your journey to the sea-shore; you know how you need the stay in the bracing air. I have engaged a residence for you through Madame de C., and also had everything arranged for your comfortable reception -- a low chalet with a look-out over the sea. I know how you love it, -- the poor wild sea, that cannot help it if it sometimes crushes a ship, and that finds no rest from despair over the evil which it does and cannot prevent.
You must not take any sea-baths; Dr. H. suitably impressed that upon me in the spring. But in any case, wait until I come.
