Michel de Montaigne de Montaigne, Michel 1584 XVII

To MM, the Jurats of the Town of Bordeaux.

Messieurs,—I received your letter, and will come to see you as soon as possible. All that court of Saint Foy is on my hands, and have arranged to come and see me. That done, I shall be (more) at liberty. I send you the letter of M. de Vallees, from which you will be able to judge that my presence would only involve embarrassment and uncertainty as to my choice and opinion in that matter.

Hereupon I recommend myself humbly to your good (grace), and supplicate God to give you, Messieurs, long and happy life. From Montaigne, this 10th of December 1584. Your humble brother and servant,

MONTAIGNE.

To MM, the Jurats of the Town of Bordeaux.
