MURAT (JOACHIM). Letter signed "Joachim Napoleon" to Marshal Louis-Alexandre Berthier, prince of Neuchâtel. Scilla [north of the Straits of Messina], 26 September 1810. 1/3 p. in-4, on a bifeuillet of wove paper gilt on edges; trace of a tab in the margin of the last page. "My cousin, I congratulate you on the birth of the prince that the princess of Neuchâtel has just given you. I shall be pleased to give the son the same proof of attachment that I have long cherished for the father. On this note, my cousin, I pray to God that he has you in his holy keeping...". Maréchale Berthier, from a branch of the Wittelsbach family, had given birth on 11 September 1810 to her first child, Napoléon-Alexandre, Duke of Wagram, who sat in the Chamber of Peers under Louis-Philippe I and was made a senator under Napoléon III.
