J. B. to Rochefoucault Tchitchagoff 1
My dear Admiral-General, or General-Admiral!
amphibious as you are, illustrious on 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
Conundrums. Oh fie!
What do you speak of on ? think of you
of our Samuel — Ivanch? He is has now completely Frenchfied. He has bought and entered into
possession of an Estate called Restinc near Montpellier.
It is called Restinclieres: It about 2,500 English acres (he
says) from measurement: but about half of it is rock, fit
for nothing but steep walks. You hears, I suppose, in its
day, of the marriage of his eldest daughter to a Marquis
de Chesart Lieu a young man about 29 Lieutenant Colonel
then commanding the troops at Fealance. there is already a
daughter Daughter of three or four months old: but, except that the father is scum, the marriage has
not turned out as was expected could be the young woman is with
father and mother; and the fath husband I don't know where.
