text
| - “I will end up at his house for the rest of my days. I never got anything. God alone has rewarded me, since, now that I am blind, I am in a charitable house whose master provides for my needs.” (en)
- “They [D’Elbée & Boisy] received me well, gave me what I needed; General d'Elbée charged me with a letter which I brought back to General Charette and which I hid in the lining of my cap. He also instructed me to tell General Charette that he was going to die, but that he would die for his God and for his king. I left, and joined the army near Vieillevigne. General Charette cried when I told him what D’Elbée had said to me.” (en)
