Mon cousin, My cousin,
Envoyzez-moi tous les généraux que j'ai demandés, et surtout le général Mouton Duvernet, envoyez –moi aussi le général Lepic de la garde; c'est un bon sabreur et qui fera bien dans les grenadiers. Send me all the generals I have requested, and especially General Mouton Duvernet, send me also General Lepic of the Guard; He is a good saber, and will do well in grenadiers.
