L.A., [Paris] 3 frimaire an V (20 décembre 1796), to Charles GAUFRIDY in Apt| 1 page in-4, address on verso.
Pathetic appeal for help.
"I'm starving, I have no wood to heat me, no meat to put in my pot, and I'm sick. I beg you, since you have my power of attorney from Arles, since I am unfortunate enough to have entrusted you with this property, which I realize only too well that I will get no more out of you than out of the others, since it is in your hands, I beg you to leave at once for Arles to withdraw from Lombard the 750 he still owes me in wheat, and the 1650 from his Christmas pay, and to send me this money by post as soon as possible, as I have no time in the dreadful state I am in to wait any longer.
O you who call yourself my friend, I would rather you took a dagger and came to pierce me with it than to make me languish as you do. It is unworthy and atrocious of you to coddle me in this way"...
