2. Baron de Leffert. Being a Banker, and a Member

but be ordinarily at Paris. Can there be any difficulty in
finding out the hoax of such a man, and acting at house.
3. Comte or Marquis Paris. True perhaps with regard
to him. But I have not written any letter to him.
All I have done or could do is to propose to De Leffert to introduce
you to him.
Being all of them written, and two of them copied,
all these letters will go along with this one to come to you.
So it was intended –
but I doubt whether

The Duc de la Rochefoucault you do not mention.
He may be at his estate at Liancourt near Clermont I
