MY DEAR FRIEND, WE HAVE LEARNED YESTERDAY AT THE THEATRE THAT A GENTLEMAN HAS INADVERTEDLY STEPPED ON YOUR FOOT.... WE HAVE COME TO GET HIS ADDRESS AND WE ARE EAGER TO ANNOUNCE THAT THE AFFAIR IS ARRANGED.... HE IS WAITING FOR YOU THIS MORNING IN THE BOIS DE BOULOGNE. YOU WILL RAISE PISTOLS AT A DISTANCE OF 15 PACES.

Honoré Daumier

Mon cher ami, nous avons appris qu'hier soir au spectacle, un monsieur t'avait marché sur le pied par mégarde . . . . . nous sommes parvenus à nous procurer son adresse et nous nous empressons de venir t'annocer que l'affaire est arrangée . . . . il t'attend ce matin au bois de Boulogne, vous vous battrez au pistolet à quinze pas ! . . . .
