Le 20 Juillet 1818. Lundi

Méchant et cher Henri,

Comme tu as paru pressé de nous quitter! tu n’as presque pas voulu nous embrasser quand nous t’avons suivi sur l’escalier. Verti anglicum quod dedisti mihi in latinum, et mea soror quoque. ¹ N’es-tu pas bien aise d’apprendre que nous allons passer en France où j’espère que tu nous rejoindras au plutôt.

Te amo valde; scribe mihi, quaeso.
Vale.
Carolina, Augusta.

Monday 20 July 1818

Cruel and dear Henri,

How you seemed to be in a rush to leave us! you barely wanted to kiss us when we followed you to the staircase. Verti anglicum quod dedisti mihi in latinum, et mea soror quoque. Are you not overjoyed to learn that we will be going to France where I hope that you will join us as soon as possible.

I love you very much, write to me, I beg you.Farewell.
Carolina Augusta.
