morning to take me there. As it was near two o'clock when I
came home, it is time I should go to sleep. I wonder myself
at giving you all these details, it is a long while I have been
out of the habit of giving them to any body, at Turin & at
Genoa I passed my time much in the same way about a
week at Each place, but I never could persuade myself
to write a word. I believe it is the Satisfaction in having
at last received Letters from you that move me.
Last night supt at Made Coigny's according to a formal Invitation
given me at my presenting my letter of Introduction
Beaumarteau was of the Party & entertained us by reading a
new Piece of his, a Continuation of the Marriage of Figaro, but
mighty pathetic. he kept us till five in the morning hearing
the overflowings of his humour proper delivered with Elegance
I am just come from the Assemblée Nationale where the making
small Notes & bad Copper to change them against was debated
with much Vehemence. They very few who had tolerable class
I fear on that part of political economy were scarcely
heard and perfectly overawed by party Spirit
