He says: "Near Laclos was the Marquis de Trion de Montalembert who heard him & held him back. This madrigal preserved in his memory has never been printed
"...
The letter is entirely decorated in the margins with astonishing pen drawings: on the entire height of the first page, a large fancy bird| on the second page, large decorative arabesques
