For my summer and autumn plans, I will spend the last 10 days of this month in England; in July I will make a study trip on military history with Gumoth, then finally from July and at the beginning of August my cancelled stay at Le Nouvions. If at that time you are in Sheveningen, I'll try to see you there. This autumn I don't intend to have any "festivities" in Chantilly, there will be a few hunting lunches, but without the ladies. I'm telling you this right now, to put you at your ease, if you have any inclination to come, for which I'd be very happy and grateful. So, from August 15, Chantilly will be open, without hubbub or parties, until an unspecified time. All you have to do is let me know you're coming. If Ferdinand can accompany you, I'd be delighted. Of course, you can bring whoever you like (...) I send you my warmest love". - August 10, 1882: "(...) I would like to take advantage of your stay in Holland to go and kiss you. I propose to arrive in Zandvoort on Thursday the 17th (...) if this suits you, please send this telegram to Chazelle (...) "Expect you on Thursday Murany", if I have received this dispatch before the 16th, I will arrive on the 17th at the appointed time (...) if I have not received it by the 16th, I will send this telegram to Chazelle (...).... If I have not received it, I will conclude either that you are no longer in Zandvoort or that you prefer not to be disturbed there, and I will wait for you in Chantilly in October or November, depending on the instructions you give me, on which I am counting (...)". - August 14, 1882: "(...) I have been somewhat reserved in all my arrangements by various circumstances, and as I have promised the Belgian majesties to come to dinner on the 18th at Laeken, I cannot prolong my stay in Zandvoort, where I have absolutely nothing to do but chat with you for two or three hours (...)". - August 17, 1882: "(...) I deeply regret being deprived of the pleasure of embracing you and not being able to receive your instructions for this autumn, trusting that you will live only with me both in Paris and Chantilly and wanting everything to be arranged in accordance with your every wish. Write to me or have one of your children write to me. I am on my way to Beauvais via Chantilly, where all letters and messages should be addressed. The Montpensiers come on August 27. The hunting season opens on September 3 (...)". - July 10, 1885: "(...) I'm very sorry to have missed you. I hope you and Ferdinand are well. This is to recommend that you let me know when you and Ferdinand will be coming to Chantilly. I'm staying in Chantilly myself on Sunday morning and don't intend to leave any time soon. Everything I can tell you is in the papers (...)". - December 27, 1886: "Happy New Year, my dear friend, and I hope to see you soon. I'll be in Brussels, 125 chaussée Charleroi, on the evening of the 2nd or 3rd, close by to hear from you first, then from you whenever you like. In the meantime, I send my love to you and Ferdinand". etc.
