Gallois, Brest, France, to Father Matthew Bernard Anduze, Paris, France, 1829 January 14

When Anduze receives this letter, he will also no doubt have one dated the 13th sent this morning under cover of the Admiralty. In that one Gallois asked Anduze to pay Mr. Talma, Lieutenant Commander, the 300 francs he gave Anduze before his departure which will be tomorrow. Gallois has just received the draft of this sum as well as Anduze's letter of January 10. Anduze now has only to send 150 francs to Duchatel, Jr. He hopes Anduze will thank him for making him acquainted with the Duchatel family. The countess is a person of much spirit; the Count one of the most estimable of men. The daughter of the house who no doubt will be married this winter is one of the most well bred young persons Gallois knows. The son Tauneguy Duchatel is one of the distinguished men of the time; Anduze will find himself in accord with him on many points. He blames, like Anduze, the system of education. He has a plan for Paris in which instruction would be rid of many routines. This young theorist is occupied with a work on charity; what Gallois read while Duchatel was working at Mirambeau, seemed full of force and reason. Talma will bring the certificates and box. As for the button it is destined to be lost; he did not find it. Copy French Anduze leaves for another time the publication of documents about Spain, Algiers, etc. A document connected with the Archbishop of Genoa, Nuncio at Paris; today, Cardinal Lambruschini, Secretary of State. He left for Rome, arriving at the end of October. He was received with great kindness by Cardinal Albany who told him that His Holiness gave no audiences during October. But His Holiness learning of Anduze's arrival, Anduze received the following letter the same day.
