J´ai payé ce matin le billet du tapissier. Je n´ai plus un sol et j´ai plusieures choses a payer´ (“My 80 francs came back to me at home last night. I paid this morning for the upholsterer's invoice. I no longer have money and I have several things to pay”) Small age wear and light staining. With left edge professionally repaired to the verso. G

 

At the time of the present letter, May 1843 Baudelaire had started recently writing his Les Fleurs du Mal.
