Transcription:
'Mon cher collègue,
Je vous envoie "Monsieur de Talleyrand", c'est à dire, sa vie. Je vous envoie aussi le portrait dont il a été question hier soir. Je ne sais pas s'il est ressemblant mais je sais très bien que l'original n'eut la fatuité de le faire litographier.
[bien à vous?]
Dimanche matin
Vous trouverez vous ce pli, un très joli échantillon de la belle écriture du Seigneur M. Je serais charmé, si je pouvais vous faire le cadeau de ce militaire secrétaire.'

The reference to "Monsieur de Talleyrand" might be a general allusion to a crafty diplomatic, rather than de Talleyrand personally.

The line before the signature might be a short version of "bien à vous", which might indicate a slightly informal tone.
