My father having left yesterday with my mother for Senovert, I have the pleasure, my dear uncle, to send you a letter from the 15th from Mr. Boissy d'Anglas. François is much better; let us hope that his recovery will soon be complete and that you will soon have the pleasure of embracing him. For fear of missing the mail, I finish, my dear uncle, by kissing you as well as my aunt with all my heart.
