117 Duchess Helene D’Orleans to Humboldt
Tuileries, Feb. 12th, 1845.
I will not longer hold the treasure intrusted to my keeping, which was a source of great joy to me. Receive once more my sincerest thanks for this communication, and let me hope soon to find new material for thanks. You see, selfishness is unpardonably predominant in my character.
Your Excellency’s affectionate
Helene.
