The Marquis de Sade recommends a friend: “Citizen d’Anetoville who is good enough to undertake my business with you will explain to you, my dear lawyer, what it is all about. This very upright gentleman who is good enough to make such a long trip practically just for me will, I hope, bring back from you all that I expect. I urgently request that during his stay in your city you render him every assistance within your power, and I shall consider everything which you are good enough to do for him as a personal favor to myself. I am always, with friendship, your fellow citizen and friend”.
