“I was doubly sorry sir for your errand, first because of your health and then because I was unable to benefit from your kindness. I myself would go to thank you and hear your news if I were not immersed in the work that this shameful law has done to me. Besides the Chamber of Peers, the works for L'Advocat [his publisher] and the law of love, I don't know what to become. – I read your excellent little letter this morning. What memories! but all this will pass. A thousand eager compliments. Complete dedication. FRCh. »
