Re: My reading of Orieux

More later, but just popping in to say, at least according to Orieux, the date is 14 Oct 1747. (and thank you!!)

Alas, French Wiki only has three 1747 letters written after that date and none of them mentions anything.

Aw, that's too bad. They are written from Sceaux, at least: Orieux says that as fallout from the "knave" incident that he and Emilie had to flee, and that he took refuge with the Duchesse du Maine at Sceaux, and spent more than two months there -- and then by February 1748 Emilie had smoothed things over and "he could show himself in public again."
