[Briefkaart poststempel Landegem/Gent 20.12.1875]

I got an invitation from uncle C.⁽¹⁾ to go to the theatre. I shall be in town to morrow Tuesday in the afternoon and stay at aunt S.'s⁽²⁾ untill about half past three o'clock. Could you not induce Mr. Ho⁽³⁾ to prepare and frame the deed of sale and agree with him for the appointment of an hour in order that we may subscribe it next Wednesday? I think also that it would be quite well if you could get hold of it beforehand and examine it together with your father; then I should have time to consider of the matter and not be taken by surprise.

I did not yet get the parcel!

20 december 1875.

(1) Met ‘uncle C’ is wel ‘oncle Charles’ of Charles Loveling bedoeld; zie over hem brief 9, aant. 5; brief 27, aant. 1.

(2) Tante Sophie, jongste zus van Pauls vader; zie over haar brief 9, aant. 8.

(3) De uitgever van de Novellen en van de Nieuwe novellen, Ad. Hoste; zie over hem brief 20, aant. 1; en zie verder brief 40 en brief 41. Hier is dus sprake van een duidelijk contract met de uitgever.
