My Dear Amédée,My Beloved Henri,
This evening, about eight
o’clock, at the Boule Rouge,
dressed as a citizeness; be on
the lookout, do not keep me waiting,
Judge of my despair! I
have a frightful sore throat, it
will be quite impossible for me to
go out this evening. In fact, they
are thinking of applying twenty
leeches!!! Pity much and love
always your
Your Clara. Clara.
