From Laignel Sauvage

<Calais, August 7, in French: A local shoemaker offers two
thousand pairs of shoes at 3 l.t. 12 sols the pair; do you want
them? I advanced four Louis to Mr. Meulens, an officer in the
Berwick regiment who wanted to go to Liége and had no
money, and who is now in the American service; please repay
me if you can. Nowhere are shirts cheaper than here; I offer
you my services.>
