It is with great regret that I obey your commands in returning the letters with which I have been honoured from you, and the lock of hair, which you so obligingly bestowed on me.
Ongaarne voldoe ik aan uw bevel, de brieven terug te zenden, die ik van u mocht ontvangen, benevens de haarlok, die gij wel zoo goed hebt willen zijn, mij vrijwillig te schenken.
