"Mon Cousin,

Je suis vraiment confus de ce que je vais vous dire et ne sais comment m'excuser. Il faut que je connaisse votre bonté pour en avoir le courage. Je ne puis me rendre près de vous, et vous envoie un exprès. Tout s'est expliqué, tout s'est arrangé; il n'y avait dans tout cela qu'un malentendu et un peu d'enfantillage de ma part. Il n'en reste rien, si ce n'est le très-vif regret de vous avoir donné ce souci, et causé cette peine. Que votre cœur me le pardonne, et si vous avez associé quelqu'un à ma confidence, veuillez le comprendre dans les excuses que je vous fais et les remerciements que je vous adresse. Sitôt que je serai libre, j'irai vous raconter les choses avec plus de détail.

"Il est dimanche 26 Avril, 1671; cette lettre ne partira que mercredi: mais ceci n'est pas une lettre, c'est une relation que vient de faire Moreuil, à votre intention, de ce qui s'est passé à Chantilly touchant Vatel. Je vous écrivis vendredi qu'il s'était poignardé; voici l'affaire en détail. Le Roi arriva jeudi au soir; la chasse, les lanternes, le clair de la lune, la promenade, la collation dans un lieu tapissé de jonquilles, tout cela fut à souhait. On soupa: il y eut quelques tables où le rôti manqua, à cause de plusieurs dîners où l'on ne s'était point attendu. Cela saisit Vatel; il dit plusieurs fois, 'Je suis perdu d'honneur; voici un affront que je ne supporterai pas."
