In parts:
"[...] Je suis ici rue de Rivoli très bien installé, nous sommes depuis plusieurs jours seuls de la famille, Alfred est toujours ici très satisfied de sa petite chambre, j`occupe la notre Esther et Lucien celle de Cocotte [...] Teissier [notaire] va venir ces jours-ci probablement pour un ou deux jours [...] Je suis assez satisfait que Teissier vienne - il pourra donner un bon conseil pour son affaire d'achat de la maison de Bedford Park [...] nous sommes allé plusieurs fois à l'exposition l`après-midi [...]
Paris est insuportable, les boulevards l'après midi sont inabordables on se dirait en Carnaval. Nous voyons de nos fenêtres les préparatifs pour le fameux banquet des maires, tout le jardin est rempli d'échafaudages on est en train de les couvrir de bâches, on voit dresser les tables, les mitrons charient des piles d'assiettes !! [...] penses donc 28 mille convives, comme dans les noces de Gamache ! [...]"

"[...] I am here on rue de Rivoli very well settled, we have been alone in the family for several days, Alfred is still here very satisfied with his little room, I occupy ours Esther and Lucien that of Cocotte [...] Teissier [notary] will come these days probably for one or two days [...] I am quite satisfied that Teissier is coming - he will be able to give good advice for his business of purchasing the house in Bedford Park [...] we went several times to the exhibition in the afternoon [...]
Paris is unbearable, the boulevards in the afternoon are unapproachable, it feels like Carnival. We see from our windows the preparations for the famous mayors' banquet, the whole garden is filled with scaffolding, they are being covered with tarpaulins, we see the tables being set up, the mitrons are carrying piles of plates!! [...] think of 28 thousand guests, like in the wedding of Gamache!”[...]"
