To the jurist Gustave Bascle Lagrèze (1811-91) in Paris about their plans to visit a friend on the weekend, asking whether he might be available on Sunday, as he has to attend a conference on Saturday: "Mme de Tascher me fait dire mon cher Lagrèze, qu'elle sera chez elle samedi et dimanche soir. Samedi j'ai une conference [...] Voyez si dimanche vous va et dans ce cas veuillez m'ecrire à quelle heure je devrai vous attendre [...]". - To the same, declining an invitation, as he has already agreed to attend a dinner and soirée at another house and will not be able to leave early, but promising to meet on one of the following nights: "Je vous remercie, mon cher Lagrèze de votre bon souvenir, mais j'ai le regret de ne pouvoir profiter de votre aimable engagement.
