L.A., [Amiens] "Mercredy January 21, 1782" [for Tuesday, January 22?, to her husband]| 4 pages in-4.
Beautiful letter to her husband.
There has been some fine weather for the party: "I breathed the air in my garden with pleasure and the air seemed to me suave and graceful"| but it is raining: "there reigns something dark and thick that brings me down: I have weariness and almost disgust". She complains about the lack of wood and the poor quality of the wood delivered. She has just hired a girl: "She pleases me with a very clean and gentle air. [...] If I were old like Sara and you were a patriarch, it wouldn't be a bad choice| she's twenty-five, fresh and has rather pretty eyes. If she's what they say she is, we'll be able to poach her some day and make her a chambermaid. She gives news of their daughter, whom she is breast-feeding and who is doing better... She tries to read in English: "I'm much more lost there than in Italian"| she needs the dictionary... The garden is in a sad state and needs work: "Isn't that a powerful reason to hasten your return? You'll also have some exercise to take, if you like, around my woods [...] you can have fun in your woodshed where I'll find you with my little one when the sun is out". She concludes by kissing him "tenerissimamente", with her daughter on her left breast, and wants to reassure him of her good health, despite her weariness.
