As for food, fat or lean, I don't care, I'll live as you do since you're kind enough to take me in, happy to find sustenance in any way. I no longer have a servant and do not intend to take one to Troyes, so my person alone will be all the embarrassment I will cause you. I hope your kindnesses that you allow your lackey to do near me the little service I need, which is the matter of a quarter of an hour. I'll take a wigmaker. I only have with me (that) my secretary who has his pension in town. When my cabriolet is unloaded I will ask you to have it placed in your detour. As I fear to be badly served by the Post horses, I do not want you to wait for me but I will surely arrive on Thursday and will be very charmed and eager to renew to you all my respectful feelings..."
