She has copied the contents of a missive from "The Director" [presumably, of the Paris Opéra], praising her performance: "The impression you have produced is as immense [and] profound as your wonderful talent! and goes on to mention a performance of Donizetti's La Favorite and her salon, which is "full of people who compliment her."
