“The swarm of ducks so darkens the sky that poor Europe does not know which way to go”

“I was sick these days here is what prevented me from delivering my stones last Friday as I promised you I am in the purgations it is better and I hope to send my stones Tuesday at the latest... Bien a vous, - h. Daumier”

Quote from an undated letter of Daumier [c. 1850's] to Pierre Véron
Véron was a later editor [1850's] of the Charivari; Daumier is excusing himself for not being able to deliver the lithographic stones as promised because he was ill.
