Inscribed - Chère soeur, pendant nos malheurs, notre maison a été le refuge de la famille; notre entant y a trouvé des soins maternels quand nous supportions le siège de Paris. Nous mémes y avons trouvé asile pendant les horreurs de la commune. Nous vous offrons le triste tableau de nos douleurs et nos désastres. J'ajouterais de nos hontes, afin que vous puissiez vous en faire une idée vous qui avez été assez heureux pour en rester éloignés. Puisse ce triste album n'avoir jamais de pendant. Puissions ne vous recevoir jamais dans notre demeure que dans la joie et le bonheur. Décembre 1871 / Mie Beseharz (?)
