| Evidence: | 'It is not my interest to recommend it but in justice to what I owe to your amusement I must advise you to read the Lettres du Marquis de Roselle, if you have not yet seen them. They are written by the wife of Monsieur Beaumont who has got so much credit by defending the family of Calas. I do not recommend the boasted Siege of Calais to you, though it contains some good lines, but the conduct is woeful.' |
