The Simonidès send me a flowerpot holder with beautiful lilies of the valley. Madame de Daillens gave me flowers, and I gave her gloves. Old Tchoumakoff gave me marrons glacés, and I gave his daughter a fichu.
Les Simonidès m’envoient un cache-pot avec de beaux muguets. La Daillens m’a donné des fleurs et moi je lui ai donné des gants. Le père Tchoumakoff des marrons glacés et moi un fichu à sa fille.
Madame Gavini came with Madame Randouin.
