Original Text:
UN USAGE D'INDE.
Mon cher ami, je viens vous faire mon compliment bien sincère.... notre prince est décidément bien mort, et c'est à vous, le plus ancien officier du palais, qu'est échu l'insigne honneur de conduire ses femmes sur le bûcher, où vous vous brûlerez avec elles!....


Translation:
AN INDIAN CUSTOM.
My dear friend, I came to pay you my most sincere condolences..... our Prince is decidedly very dead, and it is to you, his closest officer of the palace, to whom has befallen the unique honour to conduct his wives to the funeral pyre, where you will be burned together with them.
