Travel diary

Extract from "Mémoires de Monsieur Duguay-Trouin, lieutenant général des armées navales de France" by Duguay-Trouin, René (1673-1736), passage from M. de Coëtlogon's letter of February 14, 1712 written in Vitré

I learned, Sir, with great joy, that you had returned from your long-haul voyage all covered in glory by the incredible success you had in your undertaking, the most beautiful and greatest that one could be imagine and attempt. I have read your report several times, which is very well detailed, making perfectly clear all the action, the great enemy forces, their fortifications and their great entrenchments, and even better your great conduct and your ordinary worth, whatever model you may be on your subject. I am on my way to the court and to Paris, where I will ll be delighted to hear of your deeds and those of your glorious companions. I beg you to assure Messieurs de Courferac, de Goyon, de Bauve, de la Taille, de la Rufinière, and all these gentlemen of whom you speak so honorably, how receptive I am to the glory they have acquired and to their happy return. You must now give your health time to recover and strengthen sufficiently to be able to keep up with your courage on the occasions that may arise in the future, if God does not give us peace. I will always take a greater interest than anyone else in anything that happens to you, having honored you for a long time, and being with all possible esteem, Monsieur.
