Our friendship is so well known, my Dear young Apollo, that every body resorts to me, in order to obtain yr benevolence.
J cannot deny a letter of recommandation tho, it should be quite to no purpose. J am very far from preeing upon you, but men are desirous of words. Give words to them jf you cannot better.
J long after the pleasure of seeing you at Chalons. All the house presents its services to you. Farewell my dear friend.
May the 2 [1739]
