My dear doctor, I must bother you once again; I was unable to resist the requests made on behalf of an important figure, the former Bishop of Limoges, M. de Coetlosquet, who was the preceptor of the King, as well as of his brothers, M. the Comte de Provence and M. the Comte d'Artois. One of his relations, the Chevalier de Kerninon, a Briton gentleman, is twenty-three years old and has the finest recommendations from his superiors; he wants to join the Lafayettes and others to defend the worthy cause of the Americans. In Morlaix, there is a Captain Johnson, an American who is loading a cargo and ready to depart. He told M. de Kerninon that he would take him on board with pleasure if he had a recommendation from you—simply a note, please grant this to him. You will oblige a young man of the best intentions, and who belongs, as I just told you, or to be more precise, who is a relation of the King's preceptor, M. de Coetlosquet, who has kept the highest credit at court. His nephew M. de Coetloucy will come this morning to pick up your reply. Please let it be favorable, you will truly oblige a man who is sincerely attached to you for life
