Description
MURAT (JOACHIM). "HAPPIER THAN ME YOU WILL SEE THE EMPEROR AGAIN AND YOU WILL SEE HIM AGAIN GIRDED WITH NEW LAURELS...". Letter signed "Joachim Napoleon" in quality of king of Naples, addressed to the archchancellor of the Empire, Jean-Jacques-Régis Cambacérès. Naples, January 7, 1809. 3/4 p. in-4; tiny angular lack. "I read with sensitivity the expression of the wishes which you addressed to me. There are few that should please me more, since they are those of a person for whom I have a particular esteem and great attachment. Do not be afraid that your correspondence will take up the time I give to business; it is because I work so much that I need a pleasant distraction. You are going to see the Emperor again, happier than I am, and you will see him crowned with new laurels. This time I was only able to follow him because of my wishes. I thank you for what you have done for Mr Lafond. Please continue your care for him, which I am sure he will recognise as more deserving. You can always count on my inviolable attachment, and write to me more often...".
