sentence from de Sade

I'm a little tentative about the nuance of my 18thc French, and I'd be grateful for a more assured translation of this sentence from de Sade:

'Au premier envoi je te prie de me le faire faire, et de tacher que
quelqu'un de confiance leur voie mettre le chocolat dedans.'

Many thanks in advance.

ETA Many thanks, everyone who responded. The sentence is from one of de Sade's letters, rather than one of his novels.
