My very dear daughter, through Mr. Le Roy I have sent you the Information to Those who would Remove to America that you asked of me, and I added the Remarks Concerning the Savages of North America. With this note, I send you several other little things of which some samples have been printed here in the house solely for our friends. I beg your pardon for having put among those of my own, one of your creation, which is certainly too charming to be placed in such company. If by chance you have not lost The Handsome and the Deformed Leg, and The Morals of Chess, you have, with these, a complete collection of all my Bagatelles which have been printed at Passy. I am very cross to hear that Mme. Gout is afflicting our dear Friend. You know that she has given me good advice in the past, but unfortunately, being too weak to take advantage of it, I can do no better, it seems to me, than to send it on to our Friend for whom it may be useful. That Lady often caused me much grief, but never as much as at present when she keeps you from returning to Passy. I shall pray for you and for your poor Invalid, since you want me to. But if you are as loved by God as I love you, my prayers are useless and superfluous. And heretic that I am, I do not doubt that he loves Catholics such as you.
