MILAN March 12 - "I count on two horses of your way my dear Dupont, make them look after in Stra or in Mestre, ride them to try them, make them shoot pistols and cannons at the ears. If you can get three of them trained, fire-hardened, light, with a fair mouth and four legs... buy and buy fast. I'll arrive with grooms, money, saddles, pistols. And with each victory we win, with each Cavalry charge I will think of you and send you some choux croute, thanks, and battle reports that will make your mouth water. The Prince's Cousin will give you the letter, he is a nice young man who has not yet got laid since his departure from Spain. It is a shameful thing indeed. He must release his first shot in a gondola...." - 2pp in-4°
