Transcription:
Bastia, 26 September 1871
"My dear Mr Ortoli,
Our friends Messrs Emmanuel arène, Colonel Astima, Casanelli avocat and Giuseppi Président de la Commission Départementale, are candidates for deputation.
I would be very grateful if you would lend them your best support.
You know how much we would like our department to be represented in the Chamber by a republican deputation made up of men with the same views and the same political programme.
By ensuring the success of these candidates, we will be doing our country a real service, because we will be eliminating a situation that is detrimental to its interests of every kind.
Please accept, my dear Mr Ortoli, my warmest regards.
Paul de Casabianca, Senator.
Warmest regards.
