It was intended for mailing with a balloon but sent overland belonging to the well-known correspondence of Mr. Hardon to his wife at the island of Jersey. His writing says: "Les journeaux de ce matin, sans donner encore des details; disent qu'a partir de minuit l'ordre a été donné de toutes parts pour faire cesser les feux. Plus un coup de canon, plus un coup de fusil; il y a donc armistice, au plutot c'est la paix. Quelle stupidité que la guerre!".
