C. Dresden, September 20, 1803Hotel des Victoire rue des fosses Montmartre (in Breguet?s writing)Sir,I am in possession of a watch that comes from you, that was sold to me by General Hédouville, to whom you sent it in St. Petersburg; a gold engine-turned watch, No. 933. Prince Galitzine has asked me to request a watch of similar form, but with repeating. He would like a ?montre marine?. Please be so kind, sir, as to give an answer to the bearer of this letter, who is my brother. Let me know whether you have such a watch at present, and if you do not, when you might have one ready. Prince Galitzine will probably come get it himself; if he does not come to Paris during the winter, I will inform you of the manner in which to sent it to him.I am, etc.
