From L. A. Errera 25 March 1879
6A, Rue Royale | Bruxelles
March 25 1879
Dear Sir
I hope you will excuse me for not answering your exceedingly kind letter earlier, especially as you honor me with a request for my photograph; but I had not one left.1 I have just received the first copy of a new one, of which I respectfully beg your acceptance. Were it not too presuming, I would venture to ask for yours; this favor I hope you will grant.
Your very kind words are a great encouragement for my friend Gevaert and self, and we feel most proud to receive this consecration of yours on our first steps in Science.2
Yours gratefully | Leo Errera
