Note 301 — LETTERS TO THE PRESIDENT DE MOULCEAU.[301] FROM 1681 TO 1682.

M. de Moulceau was President of the Chamber of Accounts of Montpellier. It appears that Madame de Sévigné, at the time of her journey into Provence, had found him on terms of strict friendship with M. and Madame de Grignan, and M. de Vardes and Corbinelli, and that she was so sensible of his worth and the charms of his mind as to enter into a correspondence with him. But we remark with astonishment that no mention is made of this interesting man in any of the preceding letters.
