Je me suis empressé, Monsieur, de mettre sous les yeux du Roi la lettre que vous m'avez fait l'honneur de m'écrire de Naples le 4 de ce mois, et la copie du Bref par lequel le St Père vous confère le titre de Comte. Sa Majesté a appris avec plaisir que Sa Sainteté avait daigné vous donner ce témoignage de son estime, et Elle vous autorise à le porter.
Je suis très aise, Monsieur le Comte, d'être chargé de vous annoncer cette faveur du Roi et de pouvoir y ajouter l'assurance de l'estime que S. M. vous porte, et de la justice qu'Elle rend à vos sentiments et à vos principes.
J'ai l'honneur d'être, avec la plus parfaite considération, Monsieur le Comte, votre très humble et très obéissant serviteur,
