“ No, my good friend, you will come here and be very healthy, you will bear a small child as attractive as her mother, and love you as much as her father - and when you are very old, like 100 years old, the child will be your consolation and your happiness. ”

“ Milan, le 29 floréal, 2 hours after midday I do not know why I have been most content since this morning. I have a sense of anticipation that fills me with joy, which you left with me.
You would be well-served to pass by Piémont, the path is shorter and much better. You are coming to Milan, where you will be very happy, this country is so beautiful. When you are with me, it shall return me to such happiness I shall go insane. ”
