"...I don't know how to tell you that the merchants of Maisons (-Laffitte) refuse if they are not immediately paid to provide anything in the future! In the name of what is dear to you, avoid this humiliation ! Be my saviour my good Duke and I promise you that my pension and the funds which Mr. R. will bring from London will pass through your hands and be employed according to your advice. Mr Masiras writes that I'm being sued for the Wheat Case. Try to see him and find out what it's all about. Mrs. Stephann tells me that my Portrait, paintings, trunks and effects left at her house are seized. Please be so kind as to inform you of the sale and remove everything that belongs to me from the rue de la Michaudière. I will be in Paris on Wednesday, can you wait for me at your office at half past twelve? Make an effort, Mr. Duke, to get me and my children out of trouble and never count on my gratitude... If you want to go to the Opéra Comique on Friday I have tickets to give you, I'll bring them to you. Farewell to Tuesday, I'm counting on you and on God!"
