There is a reason why Saint Valentine is so very popular in France! Who does not like a handwritten note and a little favour at their doorstep, handed over by some pretty damsel-- or stripling? Hm? One should be willing to Rome very far indeed, to execute such a token with care to friends and loved ones, with all the haste of flying on a Cupid's wings!
Indeed, I wonder that everyone does not have a few recipients in mind already, for such favours? And to such an end, this question, most serious:
Is there a shop well-known for sturdy, pretty stationery and good pen-ink? Nothing pigmented, if you please!
If anyone knows of such a place, please point me in its direction. I'd thank you for the tip.
Ah! And for those of you who do not know me yet, salutations and introductions. I am called Joly, and I am a medical student, lately of Paris, presently as shell-shocked as the rest of the company. A pleasure to meet you!
Now, to end with a little seasonal joke, for the medically-minded among us:
Gapeworm is red, Cholera is blue,
Honey helps the lymphs, and lemon does too.
Thou are my love and I am thine;
So stay warm and dry, my Valentine!
It's very sound advice, at that. The winter months are dastardly.
Happy writing!

[But yes; he also knew their friend and leader well, as a person. Of course.]

I...will take your word for it rather than asking for more detail, I think.
[Have a bit of a smile there.] I do doubt it would make sense to me.
