Donatien-Alphonse-François, marquis de SADE. L.S., 22 pluviôse III (February 10, 1795), to citoyen Audibert, farmer at the lower house of La Coste; 1page small in-4, address. He has recourse to him again. He complains about Gaufridy: "there he goes again in his perfidious lethargy"; he has no more news from him, and waits for the payment of his pension: "by what incredible fatality, does he let me die of hunger [...] This dear and brave man, certainly has attacks of lethargy quite fatal to my purse and my estomach"... Attached is a letter from a certain Laurans (1771), claiming payment of his pension, with an autograph apostille from Sade (5 lines): "Voila le plus ennuiyeux de touts les mortels par ses lettres taches donc je vous supplie de m'en debarasser et de le faire attendre (sans quil m'ecrive davantage) au terme dont nous sommes convenus".
