Charged with affairs in Turkey after the death of the ambassador, General Aubert-Dubayet, Carra Saint-Cyr accompanies his widow (whom he will marry in 1799) to France. "The sweetest consolation that the Cenne ve Aubert-Dubayet can feel since the fatal loss of her husband, is undoubtedly to meet people who like you were sincerely attached to this friend of the liberty"... Fearing not to find lodging in Rastadt, he asks him to keep an apartment for the 7 fructidor. "With the cenne Abert Dubayet, his daughter and me we bring with us four people [...] we cannot refuse us the desire to remain two or three days with the Reprs de la Rep. in Rastadt. Coming back from Turkey, and passing through Germany, we need to refresh our souls, with the faithful friends of the People, and to purify ourselves at last in view of seeing our fortunate homeland again"...
