Vous avez quitt\u00e9 Vienne sans me[1]<\/a> dire<\/em>[2]<\/a> adresse \u2013 Je vous ai vu partir de chez Razum[a]<\/a> dans une telle confusion de1<\/sup> sentiments que je ne suis pas assez1<\/sup> mechant<\/em>2<\/sup> pour ne pas vous pardonner \u2014[3]<\/a> de m\u2019avoir<\/em>2<\/sup> trait\u00e9 avec tant d\u2019indiff\u00e9rence et[4]<\/a> de<\/em>2<\/sup> m’avoir<\/em>2<\/sup> oubli\u00e9 \u2013 Le d\u00e9part de votre oncle et la belle perspective de rester encore en hongrie – ou personne au monde de[5]<\/a> sens commun ne voudroit r\u00e9sider, vous ont \u00e9t\u00e9 des pens\u00e9es assez d\u00e9sagr\u00e9ables pour que je1<\/sup> ne vous<\/em>2<\/sup> en excuse pas tout a fait \u2014 Et je veux avant tout vous1<\/sup> repeter encore une fois<\/em>2<\/sup> chere amie \u2012 que vous me retrouverez toujours et en toute occasion \u2013 als ein1<\/sup> dich aufrichtig lieb \u2013 \u2013 surtout si vous voulez bien supporter de tems en tems mes humeurs, et me les pardonnez – avec cette magnanimit\u00e9 \u2013 sans la quelle \u2013 je ne serais pas la – ou je suis dans ce moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vous d\u00e9sirez avoir5<\/sup> de nouvelles de mon P.[6]<\/a> \u2013 Voudriez vous bien4<\/sup> me permettre de<\/em>2<\/sup> vous en donner4<\/sup>, et4<\/sup> de<\/em>2<\/sup> me charger de cette commission? Vous n’aurez point1<\/sup> de raison d\u2019\u00eatre m\u00e9contente de votre commissionaire, je vous en assure. \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ne vous moquez1<\/sup> pas3<\/sup> de moi avoir<\/em>2<\/sup> choisi la langue fran\u00e7aise \u2013 pour vous \u00e9crire – J’\u00e9cris \u00e9galement mal et le fran\u00e7ais et l’allemand vous le savez, e dissimulare non giova<\/em>[7]<\/a> – mais j’ai pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e91<\/sup> le mauvais fran\u00e7ais, que je sais \u2013 pour me mettre un peu plus en train dans5<\/sup> cette besogne. \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vous avez laiss\u00e9 deux ou trois paquets a V[8]<\/a> chez votre Tante -, je les ferai empaqueter encore une fois \u2013 pour que rien ne s\u2019y g\u00e2te, et je vous les enverrai1<\/sup> par<\/em>2<\/sup> la premi\u00e8re occasion. Ferai-je bien. \u2013 Si vous avez une commission \u2013 une affaire a arranger a Vienne, c’est moi qui s’en chargerai \u2013 avec empressement et plaisir \u2013 et si vous voulez me donner une preuve de votre bont\u00e9 et de votre amiti\u00e9 \u2013 vous ne d\u00e9daignerez point les services que je vous offre avec tant de franchise et de v\u00e9rit\u00e9. – J’ai \u00e9crit a Malthe<\/em>2<\/sup> le lendemain de votre depart pour1<\/sup> vous4<\/sup> procurer<\/em>2<\/sup> ce Manteau blanc que vous d\u00e9sires<\/em>2<\/sup> des cotes de la barbarie, – on les appelle Bournous. \u2012 \u2012 \u2012<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Me voila donc Charg\u00e9 d’affaires du ministre pl\u00e9nipotentiaire. Je trouve que cette d\u00e9gradation est d’un genre assez sensible et je n’en pourrois pas me f\u00e9liciter pr\u00e9cis\u00e9ment mais je m’en console aumoins<\/em>2<\/sup>, 1<\/sup> car<\/em>2<\/sup> je pense que c\u2019est un titre, que je m\u00e9rite mieux – et que c’est un poste – pour le quel mes talents, mes m\u00e9rites et ma persone vaillent mieux \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L’\u2012 is not yet gone. He is expecting his Father \u2013 and look pale and melancholy \u2014 I like him well \u2013 and I think he is very much in love \u2013 with a lady I would not mention to you. I told him yesterday \u2014 that I am going to write to you \u2012 and that I will mention him and his compliments to you \u2012 \u201cif you please said he \u2013 with a sigh\u2014which provid how thougly he doted upon something in this word \u2013 We have been driving \u2012 more than for only one together without1<\/sup> uttering<\/em>2<\/sup> a single word, – you should know, I imagine, what and when one Thoughly have been! \u2014 Repentance, yet not quite without any happy thought \u2012 and1<\/sup> hope \u2014 not without fear \u2013 and some despair, have been sitting near to each other in a close place ~~~<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One1<\/sup> has<\/em>2<\/sup> to much to gut, the other nothing more the loose. \u2014 C\u2019est entre le pass\u00e9 et l\u2019avenir que vous vous trouvez \u2013 et je suis heureux, de croire quoique cet aveu me co\u00fbte<\/em> bien2<\/sup> des larmes<\/em>[9]<\/a> \u2013 que votre avenir sera plus \u2013 gai \u2013 plus \u2013 doux \u2013 que le pass\u00e9 n\u2019a jamais pu etre \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mon p\u00e8re se porte de jour en jour mieux \u2012 il dort il mange, et prend r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement de l’exercice<\/p>\n\n\n\n

J\u2019esp\u00e8re qu’il se remettra tout-a-fait – Vous savez qu’il se monte toujours1<\/sup> l’imagination5<\/sup> – et que la peur d’etre plus mal de jour en jour<\/em>2<\/sup> le fait vraiment empirer si souvent – que son medicin ne sauroit pas trop lui reccomander la distraction et les dissipations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Il ne parle que d’un voyage a M\u2014 Je l’accompagnerai – certainment – si cela auroit lieu \u2014 [b]<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
