He wrote to her from the Prefecture, without having received a reply: "I beg you to do me the service I refused a few days ago and to go to Levavasseur bookseller at the royal palace [...] to buy me a German almanac entitled Cornelia, which I need most urgently [...] then to send it to me at Ste Pélagie by your young man.
