رسالة من ميشال الى أخيه جورج. يسأله عن وصول السيدة سلمى ملوك الى بيروت. ثم بتبادل معه بعض الأفكار في الفلسفة الطبيعية. يقول لجورج أن الأشخاص يولدون متساويين، وأن الحظ ليس هو الأساس بل أن الواسطة هي الأهم. كما يسأله عن الهرّة. ثم يخبره عن نهاية شراكته من دون أية مشاكل، وأنه دفع لشريكه سبعة آلاف دولار أميركي. كما يعرب عن سعادته عن اخبار تقدم أحوال بيروت وسوريا. وفي النهاية يرسل سلاماته وقبله للوالدة والشقيقات.
