In parts:
"Mon cher ami 
   Je vous remercie bien amicalement pour votre bonne lettre, ainsi que pour les 500 fr. qui l`accompagnaient [...] voila près de deux mois et que le poumon gauche ne semble nullement empressé de se rétablir. J`espère toutefois que cela marchera mieux dans quelques jours [...] On vit toujours d`espoir, et inutile de vous dire que ce mouvement populaire en Russie, qui d`un bond devance tous les partis - si savants et si sérieux - réveille en nous les meilleures espérances. [...]"

Translated:
"My dear friend 
   I thank you very kindly for your kind letter, as well as for the 500 francs. who accompanied him [...] it's been almost two months and the left lung seems in no hurry to recover. However, I hope that it will work better in a few days [...] We always live on hope, and needless to say that this popular movement in Russia, which in one leap is ahead of all the parties - so learned and so serious - is waking up in us the best hopes.
