30 August 1893À mon gracieux,

This month has kept me busy; if you read the paper then I needn't tell you why. Be assured that it is only a lack of time that has kept me absent, not a lack of desire to see you. Soon —

Mon chou,

I do read the papers, particularly when they involve photographs of someone I know quite well. Imagine my surprise! Of course, I’ve kept myself busy in preparation for the new season. Will you even have time for enjoying the arts anymore, if you become prime minister?

2 September 1893S,

I'll make time.

You were divine last night. I would have stopped by after the performance, but I was entertaining. Campaign business. Waste of a box seat, really; no appreciation for ballet.

Yours,

Oz
