Summary
Yes, assuredly, my dear friend, I am pleased to find myself in Languedoc. I was happy to see Madame de Valmont. My walks in my park, between Adelaide and Madame d' Ostalis, are delightful to me; but yet my heart is not fully satisfied; I am not perfectly happy; and should be still less so, if I thought it possible you could believe half you say on that subject. I am not apt to be out of humour, but I own your letter has made me so; and therefore you will not now have the account your politeness made you demand: and I shall only acquaint you we are all perfectly well, and that Adelaide cried for joy when she beheld the turrets of the castle, and said that true happiness was only to be found here and Lagaraye; that Madame d' Ostalis rose by break of day to draw the landscape from her window; that Theodore, impatient to see all his former walks, went three leagues this morning on foot with Dainville; that Miss Bridget has left the spleen at Paris; and that I am very seriously angry with you. Adieu, my dear friend! If you wish for more particulars, write me a letter kind enough to make me forget the one I have just received.
