In parts:
"Monsieur
Je communique aussitôt votre aimable proposition à mon éditeur; mais crains que déjà il n`ait contracté un engagement au sujet de la traduction de `Si le grain ne meurt...`
[...]
Il ne reste malheureusement plus à ma disposition un seul exemplaire de Si le grain ne meurt que j`aurai eu plaisir à vous envoyer."
Translated:
"Sir
I will immediately communicate your kind proposal to my publisher; but I fear that he has already made a commitment regarding the translation of `Si le grain ne meurt ...'
[...]
Unfortunately, I no longer have a single copy of `Si le grain ne meurt`, which I would have been pleased to send you."
