I send a despatch stating that I accept Baron Hirsch's price; but
stipulate, first, to exhibit the picture in Warsaw, etc.
For the sending of despatches and other needs I borrow money in the
institution. It is given without hesitation. Everything goes as if on
oil.
In "The Kite" and "The Courier" appears my biography, in which, however,
there is not one word of truth; but as Ostrynski says, "How can that
concern me?" I have received also a request from two illustrated papers;
they wish to publish my portrait and reproduce my picture. Let them do
so. Money will be as abundant as water.
