205Letter Nr. 1[To C.P. Cooper /?]London, November, 1830Sir,Yesterday I received in the evening the letter you sent for me at Mr.Hayward's. Tomorrow, Friday night I will be able to go and meet you at yourplace. I thank you sincerely for the invitation that you gave me to see you. Itgave me all the more pleasure because we are going to continue a bit theconversation that for every man who is not animated by a cold and pureselfishness cannot be indifferent. Till tomorrow.Accept the assurance of the high esteem of your devoted servantB. J.(CRR, mss 8626, p. 93)
206Letter Nr. 2[To Talbot /?]London, November 6, 1830My Dear Father,Two months have passed since I left you. Two months have passed andI remain alone as a son. I only write to the family to which I am united by myprimary human concern, my happiness and my life in faith and hope. I addressonly a word of respect, a single filial word to my fathers and my saviors.The astonishment which I expect you experience from this, believe me,is surpassed in me by my own past, my regrets and the lively desire I have tobe better. It may be that this letter will put an end to this, once and for all, forme and other preachers. It will do so and bring about a reunion if the reason formy faults are such as I see them. They are just... to begin to put the last intopractice.I left Paris [?] You were able to note if I revealed anything as I believe Ihave. And I am sure that it will not fail to bear results... if I sense correctly thenature and causes of my sin, if they are correctly felt by me, and if the mannerin which I wish to improve is considered just and sufficient by you; if I makeyou know me, your son, well, and if you judge me worthy of your pardon andpaternal love. Thus, in order to achieve this, I have to tell you a little about mypast and present state. I have to speak of this in the manner of a St. Simonistand reveal to you the depths of my moral being, confessing all my irreligiousacts to you, all my sorrow and all my hopes.When I left Paris near the end of August you were the last person of ourfamily that I saw. You were able to note this and, no doubt, you did.(MSS, 8626, p. 17, CRR)
