Mde. Brillon est bien sensible a l’attention de son bon papa et de mr. son fils; elle a été obligée de gardér le lit depuis deux jours pour un Rhume des plus considerable, elle est un peu mieux aujourd’hui; elle embrasse le bon papa et son petit fils de tout son coeur elle leur souhaitte la meilleure année possible.

Addressed: A Fran-Monsieur klin

4. This is clearly a note of greeting for the New Year; the general tone and the use of the third person suggest 1778.
