Summary
Saying he has not opened her letter but thinks it will be full of reproaches he does not deserve; expressing his belief that she is more inexplicable to him than he is to her; discussing the relationship between love and jealousy; indirectly urging her to stop being unjust to him or she will eventually lose him; telling her he is sick and tired of having to justify himself to her; noting that he is going to Versailles and will read her letter en route.
