I need not tell you how much pleasure your wishes give me. I have been accustomed for so many years to receive proofs of your friendship; and you know how they touch me.
We shall return to Chislehurst towards October, and you will not doubt the pleasure we shall have in seeing you again.
I send you a photograph of the Prince. As to the brochure,[110] they (sic) are all at Camden Place.
Receive, my dear Madame Cornu, the renewed assurance of my sincere friendship.
Napoléon.
The Emperor’s Final Letter to Mme. Cornu.
Chislehurst,
November 17, 1872.
My dear Madame Cornu,
I send you a line for Charles Thelin;[111] to thank you for your letter; and to tell you that I shall be pleased to see M. Charbet, if he comes to England.
I hope you are better, and that we shall see you here when it is not so cold.
