Madame Jenny d'Hericourt,

Just having received your letter my dear
Madame d'Hericourt, I hesitate
not one moment to say to you, that
I will do what I can for your friend
and hope to succeed in finding a
situation for her, which will
suit her.

only now is the question how can [word unclear]
shall we help each other!? You, who
have done in life so much for us all,
can we do nothing for you? Of course
I would not ask, and rather ask before [word unclear?]

nothing more than a worker and wish
as such one [remainder of line struck through]
