DEAR GILLIER,--This might do very well for some unknown genius, say Monsieur Heath, but it is no good to a man like Jacques. Nevertheless, we believe in you still, and renew our offer. Send us a fine libretto, _such as I know you can write_, and we will pay you five times as much as anyone else would, on account of a royalty. We should not mind even if _someone else_ had already tried to set it. All we care about is to get your _best work_. HENRIETTE SENNIER.
