Summary
We set out to-morrow, my dear friend, for Florence. It is impossible for me to regret Italy, when I am returning to France; yet my departure from Rome will occasion some melancholy emotions. You know my attachments to the C— d—ts; I cannot divest myself of the idea that I shall never see him again. He enjoys here every mark of respect that high rank, superior talents, great experience, a thorough knowledge of business and mankind, with the most serupulous integrity, can acquire. He possesses equally those qualities which command our esteem, and the virtues which gain our affections. He has the art of uniting to the appearance of a person in office the natural and easy behaviour and the free conversation of a private person. He has neither state nor pedantry. (True dignity is derived from the soul, and owes nothing to affectation.) His face, his discourse, his air, indicates his character: by seeing him, you know what he is. He possesses that happy and rare union of prudence and openness, of nobility and good-nature. I shall, besides, leave behind me at Rome the Count and Countess de Balmire, whom I shall always remember: Adelaide has a sincere regard for the Countess, and has been in tears these two days. Miss Bridget finds fault with a sensibility of which she has not the least conception; for she is most earnest to return to France; and, in spite of her concern, we pack up chearfully, and rejoice in the thoughts of being at B— in three months time. You, my dear friend, promised to be there to receive me, and spend with us two months; but you do not mention Madame de Valcy: should it be agreeable to you to bring her, I flatter myself you are assured that it would give me pleasure. I depend upon Mons.
