Mr. de CHOUPPES received me as an officer a few days ago. If you believe, my dear Mother, that it is possible for me to find fifteen thousand pounds to borrow from the constitut. I am sure to have a Company by means of buying a Sub-Lieutenancy of the Mestre de Camp and one is a Captain after one or at most after two years. And if you believe, my dear Mother, that I can find this money, I would beg you to write to Mr. Marquis d'HARCOURT to ask him for the Sub-Lieutenancy... and tell him that you have the money to send him... Today we pass the review of the Commissioner of the wars at two o'clock in the afternoon. We have in this country cy many rouzeolles (measles) the greater part of the Ladies of the company had it... You must have had news of the LAST COMBAT of Mr. De GUICHEN (The Battle of Martinique of April 17, 1780). I beg you to let me know the result of this affair if you know it because we have no positive news of this battle..."
