Translation:

Sir,

I will send you some positive proofs of small portraits within the next few days, in accordance with the desire which you expressed in your favour of a few days ago. Please forgive me, Sir, for not replying sooner; I was prevented from doing so by an indisposition which kept me in bed for several days.

I await the pleasure of being of service to you. Please accept, Sir, the assurance of the sincere regards of your servant
Ferrier
