Dear M^lle

You will be sorry to hear that Count Cavour died this morning at 7 oclock.

It is an immense loss to the World – My impression is that it was owing to bad medical treatment, the injudicious system of excessive bleeding –

I have not time to add more –

I think of going to Paris on Saturday.

Yours ever truly

H. F. Talbot
