Reply letter to Marquis Marc de Favrat in Cannes on the deceased Romanian Princess Elisabeth' last resting-place. Frederick of Hohenzollern agrees in leaving Elisabeth's remains meanwhile at the Russian Church in Cannes but needs to talk to the deceased princess' sisters and brothers for a final decision. In regard to Favrat's debt, and adoption documents, Favrat should not for too long defer the shipment: "Il est très avantageux que l'epoque du transfert ne soit pas pressante actuellement. Quant aux deux autres points: vos documents et les dettes, je vous serais très obligé de ne pas trop en différer l'expedition [...]".
