Note 32 — Part III. FROM CLOSE OF NATIONAL ASSEMBLY TO CONSULATE.
Reading edition
“Sire,—I address to your Majesty a letter written the day before yesterday, and which I only received yesterday after mid-day. It is from the Bishop of Autun, who seems desirous to serve your Majesty. He had it conveyed to me that the King might make a trial of his zeal and influence, and indicate to him the points on which he could be employed.”
