Comte de BOURMONT (Louis-Auguste-Victor de Ghaisnes,) Freigné 1773 - 1846 - General 1813, Minister of War 1829, Marshal of France on July 14, 1830 - Very beautiful Letter A.S. "Cte de Bourmont" to H.R.H. the Duchess of PARMA. Farnese, near Viterbo May 18, 1838. 3 pages in-4°. He thanks her for the grace granted to his son: "... I owed to the good care of my family a fairly prompt improvement in my condition, but they had to separate from me since I could no longer provide for their needs outside our country, and I came to settle on a farm 6 miles from Farnese. It's a sort of desert where one of my sons, Adolphe, will stay with me; the air is good and the exercise I take there contributes to my complete recovery... it gives me hope that one day I will still be able to serve our young King, whose virtues are developing and becoming more admired every day. If I were fortunate enough to receive occasional news from Madame, it would console me in my solitude, where I shall treasure the memory of her kindnesses to me and mine... I have the honor to be with the most respectful devotion of Your Royal Highness..."
