"My dear friend, if you continue to write to me so often, as I don't want to miss a single one of your letters, please address them to me from now on in Naples, where I will be in two days, God willing, and where I will rest as you advise me to do, without sleeping, and as you are doing this year. I kiss you, you rascal, and I love you. A. Dumas. Palazzo Chiatamone – Naples. There's my address – you never know what might happen."
