Reply to the dispatch of the novel Un fils de pair de France, on the Vendée adventure of the Duchesse de Berry. "From the depths of my curtains, where for several weeks I have been held by a merciless sore throat, I read you and thank you warmly, Monsieur, for having remembered me and held me in sufficient esteem to send me this story, which I want to believe in all its details, despite the names that disguise it, because you have seen everything and taken part in everything, you who have the honor of being a hereditary Vendéen. It seems to me that after reading you, one will no longer be able to bear the sight of a galley slave's cap on one of these noble heads"... Correspondance, t.IV, 39-128.
