The King himself announced yesterday in an interval of the Council meeting that he had just appointed my young man Squadron Leader. This morning he thanked His Majesty (Louis XVIII) and yesterday I offered mine to Mr. Marshal de Saint Cyr. You promised Mr. Daugé that you would dedicate a day to me to come to dinner with him at my house: I will wait for this moment with an impatience equal to the gratitude I owe you." -
