David reminds Joly of his promise to "occupy himself with my return to the theatre" and remarks bitterly that "with a bit of kindness and goodwill and, above all, the oblivion of an old grudge" Joly could already have placed him in several performances: "Je crois qu'il est n cessaire que je rappelle a Monsieur Ant nor que je suis encore de ce monde et qu'il m'a fait une promesse, celle de s'occuper de ma rentr e au th tre. Avec un peu de bienveillance et de bon vouloir et surtou l'oublie d'une vielle rancune il aurait certes d j pu me placer dans une des nombreuses pi ces en r p tition [.]". - Traces of folds and seal.
