Seven or eight days ago Damilaville wrote to send this man to him, for one of his friends who had a manuscript for him to copy.

I send him; the manuscript is entrusted to him--a work on religion and government.

I do not know how it came about, but that manuscript is now in the hands of the lieutenant of police.

Damilaville gives me word of this.

I hasten to my friend Glenat, to warn him to count no more upon me.
