Bureau de remplacemens militaires. Y a Marchandise et Marchandise ! voulez-vous un remplacement commun, ça n’vous coûtera que 800 fr. – mais j’vous en préviens, c’est des filous, des voleurs, ça n’reste pas au régiment, ça s’donne de l’air à la première occasion et faut r’joindre…….. Voulez-vous y mettre 1,500 francs, prenez-moi ça, c’est pas beau, mais c’est bon, ça a des papiers …….. tant qu’on en veut ! et ça n’bronchera pas du service pendant vos six ans. Bertrand (à part) Compte là d’ssus, Pékin !
