St Helena. Deadwood Camp 22 March 1901
The President of the Committee of the Fêtes of Nice

Dear Mr President
May I presently remind you of the success which, without a doubt, is due to crown this year's fête? Last year I had the pleasure of assisting with the entry of S. M. Carnaval. Do not think it is a lack of interest on our part, quite the contrary. Best to you.
