Comte Emmanuel de LAS CASES (1766/1842) Compagnon de...

"Envelope Letter" Handwritten, signed on one page on a double sheet. Emmanuel de Las Cases is best known for being one of Napoleon I's most faithful companions, right up to his death. He published "Memoirs of Saint Helena," a collection of conversations with the emperor during his exile. Letter written 3 months before his death. A "trembling" signature is recognizable, certainly due to his advanced age. It would seem that he dictated this letter so that it would be readable. - The author sends his most heartfelt thanks to the recipient for the letter he wrote to his daughter. - He explains that his daughter simply wished to interest the recipient in their affair and obtain valuable advice, but that the care and the recipient's efforts far exceeded their expectations. - The author says he is distressed by the trouble he may have caused the recipient and hopes to thank him in person soon, if circumstances permit.
