This　receipt；　written　on　a　very　small　piece　of　paper；　was　in　the　cover　of　an　almanac。　　I　agreed　with　M。　Gougenot；　who　was　obliged　by　his　office　to　reside　in　Paris；　that　he　should　retain　the　proces…verbal　of　the　Council　and　the　receipt　for　the　four　hundred　thousand　francs；　and　that　we　should　wait　either　for　orders　or　for　the　means　of　transmitting　these　documents　to　the　King　or　Queen；　and　I　set　out　for　Versailles。
  The　strictness　of　the　precautions　taken　to　guard　the　illustrious　prisoners　was　daily　increased。　　The　idea　that　I　could　not　inform　the　King　of　the　course　I　had　adopted　of　burning　his　papers；　and　the　fear　that　I　should　not　be　able　to　transmit　to　him　that　which　he　had　pointed　out　as　necessary；　tormented　me　to　such　a　degree　that　it　is　wonderful　my　health　endured　the　strain。
  The　dreadful　trial　drew　near。　　Official　advocates　were　granted　to　the　King；　the　heroic　virtue　of　M。　de　Malesherbes　induced　him　to　brave　the　most　imminent　dangers；　either　to　save　his　master　or　to　perish　with　him。　I　hoped　also　to　be　able　to　find　some　means　of　informing　his　Majesty　of　what　I　had　thought　it　right　to　do。　　I　sent　a　man；　on　whom　I　could　rely；　to　Paris；　to　request　M。　Gougenot　to　come　to　me　at　Versailles　he　came　immediately。　　We　agreed　that　he　should　see　M。　de　Malesherbes　without　availing　himself　of　any　intermediate　person　for　that　purpose。
  M。　Gougenot　awaited　his　return　from　the　Temple　at　the　door　of　his　hotel；　and　made　a　sign　that　he　wished　to　speak　to　him。　　A　moment　afterwards　a　servant　came　to　introduce　him　into　the　magistrates'　room。　　He　imparted　to　M。　de　Malesherbes　what　I　had　thought　it　right　to　do　with　respect　to　the　King's　papers；　and　placed　in　his　hands　the　proces…verbal　of　the　Council；　which　his　Majesty　had　preserved　in　order　to　serve；　if　occasion　required　it；　for　a　ground　of　his　defence。　　However；　that　paper　is　not　mentioned　in　either　of　the　speeches　of　his　advocate；　probably　it　was　determined　not　to　make　use　of　it。
  I　stop　at　that　terrible　period　which　is　marked　by　the　assassination　of　a　King　whose　virtues　are　well　known；　but　I　cannot　refrain　from　relating　what　he　deigned　to　say　in　my　favour　to　M。　de　Malesherbes：
  〃Let　Madame　Campan　know　that　she　did　what　I　should　myself　have　ordered　her　to　do；　I　thank　her　for　it；　she　is　one　of　those　whom　I　regret　I　have　it　not　in　my　power　to　recompense　for　their　fidelity　to　my　person；　and　for　their　good　services。〃　　I　did　not　hear　of　this　until　the　morning　after　he　had　suffered；　and　I　think　I　should　have　sunk　under　my　despair　if　this　honourable　testimony　had　not　given　me　some　consolation。
