The King himself deigned to announce yesterday during an interval of the Council that he had just appointed my young man Chef d'Escadron. This morning he offered his thanks to His Majesty (Louis XVIII), and yesterday I offered mine to Mr. Maréchal de Saint Cyr. You have promised Mr. Daugé to give me one day to come and dine with him at my home: I shall await this moment with an impatience equal to the gratitude I owe you."
