Note:
“Since you have allowed me, Sir, to make a further request of you, here is a note concerning the infirmary, delivered by Madame de Chateaubriand. We require two things: firstly, a sum of money, as large as possible, to help us pay our masons; and secondly, an annual subscription to feed our patients. One may subscribe, if one wishes, for fifty francs, but the generosity of a King of France knows no bounds. Please rest assured, Sir (...) and accept my most earnest regards. Chateaubriand”
