Summary
Iam going to inform you of such an extraordinary event, my dear Baron, that I would not delay a moment writing to you, particularly, as Mons. d’ Aimeri is the principal person concerned in my History. The friendship you have for him would have been sufficient to have made me regard him. But his great merit, and the dreadful misfortunes he has met with, have given him a right to my most tender friendship, which he will ever possess. I guess what your curiosity must be, and I will satisfy it. Mons. d’ Aimeri arrived here about ten days ago. After what you wrote to me about him, I took a lodging for him at a friend's house, and, the evening he came here, I went to make him a visit. A slight indisposition obliged him to keep his chamber a few days, at the end of which he went over the city, and saw every thing that was curious in it; people mentioned to him the house of Mons. d’ Anglures, as being well worth his seeing. He wished much to go there to visit this extraordinary and benevolent man, whom I have already mentioned to you. As I am very intimate with him, I promised Mons. d’ Aimeri to carry him thither. We went the next day, as soon as we had dined, Mons. d’ Aimeri, Charles, and myself, in the same carriage. When we had got there, we were told Mons. d’ Anglures was gone to take a walk in the fields, but that he would certainly be at home presently, and we were desired to walk into his apartments. About half an hour after, finding Mons. d’ Aimeri was much engaged by a Cabinet of Natural History, I offered to conduct his grandson into the gardens, which were well worth viewing, and of which I will give you an account in my next letter. We had scarce left the house, when a servant came to tell us that Mons. d’ Anglures was returned from his walk, and was looking for us.
