to my son Messieurs De Chamilly and Hue,
whose sincere affection for me induced them to shut themselves up
with me in this melancholy abode, and who ran the risque (sic) of
being the unfortunate victims of their attachment. I also recommend
Cleri, with whose attentions I have had all reasons to be satisfied
ever since he has been with me. As he is the person who has remained
with me to the last, I request Messieurs de la Commune to give him my
clothes, my books, and the other trifles which have been deposited at
the Council of the Commune.

I also very willingly forgive those who guarded me, for their ill
treatment, and the constraint which they thought necessary to keep me
under. I have found some feeling and compassionate minds; may they
enjoy in their hearts the pleasure that their turn of thinking must
afford them.

I request Messieurs De Malsherbes, Tronchet, and De Seze, to
receive my best thanks, and assurances of my gratitude for all the
care and attention they have shown me.

I conclude with declaring before GOD, being ready to appear before
him, that I cannot reproach myself with any of those crimes that have
been laid to my charge.

Made and copied in the Tower of the Temple, the 25th of December,
1792.

And undersigned BEAUDRAIS, Municipal Officer.
