[301] M. de Moulceau was President of the Chamber of Accounts
of Montpellier. It appears that Madame de Sévigné, at the time
of her journey into Provence, had found him on terms of strict
friendship with M. and Madame de Grignan, and M. de Vardes and
Corbinelli, and that she was so sensible of his worth and the
charms of his mind as to enter into a correspondence with him.
But we remark with astonishment that no mention is made of this
interesting man in any of the preceding letters.
