It is impossible an affair of this kind which had been made
so public in the first companies should be long in finding
its way to the Empress's ears, after having heard the story
she has 4 or 5 times to my knowledge enquired about it
how it went on and I have had the satisfaction to
hear that she has approved much of my conduct but wonder wonders
the girl does not go off with me. She has said more than
once that there was nothing to hinder her our being
received in the first Church. She has said that
the mother was a great fool for not consenting to it for
opposing her daughter's marrying me. That I should
run away with her. That the private gardens to the palace
were the place for me to meet her. That her mother
let her go nowhere else, that I might set off with
her to the first village and all was would be settled.
Be it When she told somebody of my having offer'd her
my services and of the her readiness to accept them she
concluded by saying "and I should have no obligation to
his annoying Call." But this is what you
should tell to nobody.
