1820 Novr 28 sent Decr 19
J. B. to Rochefoucault 1
My dear Admiral-General, or General-Admiral!
amphibious as you are, illustrious or both elements,
now that distance has established forms between us, I know not by which title means to adr address you in preference.
Ha go on certain memoirs? are you faithful or faithless?
durst you, if on a revisit to this country (and
to my feelings it has been long ago high time) durst
you look me in the face? but unless you come with
a good packet twelve miles
high at least for this
table of mine in your hands.
To what apron string are you tied? Your own or other
is necessary to give, were it only to you Great. Something
very illustrious was once or twice named to me; but, as I know
nobody, and forget every thing, it has escaped me. Those
those beautiful yong young of yours —
half Russian, half English. I hear you have
got them away away from here, and are turning them turning them into
. Oh fie!
