Mon cher ami,
How simply splendid, a dinner party! Bertha and I will be delighted to attend. I see that Lord de Bearne is also on the guest list, wonderful as I very much hope to establish a stronger social rapport with the fellow as well as a good working relationship too as my eyes are set on securing the post of Commissioner of Public Safety, the current incumbent is an utter hapless buffoon, so hopefully I can impress my interest and abilities during the course of the party.
Best wishes,
Bastian

Your Grace,
October will be a very busy month for me as I am about to open my own theatre for the amusement and artistic elevation of Paris, and one hopes, of all of France. Nevertheless, I shall not allow the demands on my time that this requires to interfere with my attendance at your soiree.
Johi and I shall both attend with great pleasure.
Your Servant,
Sieur Auguste Balls

Mom Diei! Catastrophe!
One and All,
There is most distressing news. The House of L’Hopital is nearly bankrupt and I write to you as a most disgraced man.
Apparently my Father’s Exchequer has been embezzling vast sums for several years and hid his colossal criminality beneath a mountain of forged documents. In light of these dire events I am forced to disappoint you all and must cancel this celebratory feast to my eternal shame.

Your Grace,
This is most distressing news, by which I mean the financial difficulties much more than the disappointment at missing a party. Is there anything I can do to assist? In my time as a banker, I have learned a few things about recovering from losses. Perhaps, your case is one where salvation is still possible.
Do let me know.
Your Friend and Admirer,
Sieur Auguste Balls

To the Duke of Gevaudan
Your Grace,
believe me I can understand you, as I have lived most of my life without as much money as my status would require.
Given that you had to cancel your party, maybe sharing our owner box with the Steeplechase with Emelin and myself would d comfort you, at least to a point. Of course, make this invitation extensive to your lady Mmlle Chabert
Hoping to enjoy the courses with you
Marquis Lagarde de Déols
