166Rough-draft of a letter to C. ZgliczyńskiLetter Nr. 46Paris, July 4, 1829, SaturdayDear Cyprian! 155A few days ago, on the 29 th of last month, I received your letter /writtenlast month on the 11 th of June/ together with the communications from theCouncil of the Polytechnic Institute. Unfortunately, /separated from you bysuch a great distance/, I cannot thank you immediately by way of a heartyembrance for the mark of your confidence in me. Therefore, in the meantime,accept this expression of my gratitude by way of the dead letter, but whichincludes equally sincere sentiments welling up within me.In reference to the person, about whose present and future stay here youdirected me to inquire: I have known him since I came to Paris, although, ourshas not been a close relationship. In accord with your request, before Idelivered your note to him, I tried to find out from others if there was anythingmore definite about his further plans of travel. This is the result of all myinquiries: In the course of a conversation, Mr. Wodziński 156indicated to one of our compatriots that he is considering a short stay inEngland, and plans to return to Poland this year. Another source very close toMr. Wodziński, told me that after his trip to England, he will undoubtedlyspend the Winter in Paris. Just a few days ago, before I delivered your note to155 Cyprian Zgliczyński /born 1805 in Kaszowo/ a student from the Provincial School in Radom.From 1825 he studied political economy together with Bogdan Jański at Warsaw. His relative,Charles Zgliczyński began the study of Law at the same time that Jański did.156 Charles Edward Wodziński /1807-1837/ - came from Wołyń. He later joined the Novemberuprising as a Lieutenant in the First Krakus regiment. He was the author of "Journeys across theBiałowieska Desert to Warsaw", and "Memoirs from rambles through Europe‖.
