The writer begins by praising Monsieur De Sauvigny for his achievements, noting that his rise to minister of state was attained without solicitation. They express concern that the recipient’s peace may be disturbed by a letter from Mr Dugard Dessichens and the actions of her brother. They describe Mr Dugard as a former refugee with some influence but dubious character, who has made unfounded claims about the recipient’s family and has caused distress. The writer advises discretion in responding to Mr Dessichens and mentions their own limited ability to assist due to significant personal expenses, while also reflecting on the misfortunes and unreliable behaviour of Mr Durey, adding that Mr De Florian, despite his wife’s health issues, continues to offer support.
