We assure our esteemed friend of our respect and friendship, and we send him a copy of the work that M. the abbé de Mably just published. The author renders homage to the patriarch of reason and liberty.

We are anxious to go and celebrate with our friend the return of peace and independence of America. We are praying for this happy moment.

Best wishes from the abbés de Chalut and Arnoux to the dear grandson.
