BERNADOTTE Jean (1764-1844) maréchal d'Empire, Roi de Suède
L.A.S. "Charles Jean", Stockholm 6 April 1811, to "My dear praetor"; 2 pages in-4. Nice letter from the Hereditary Prince of Sweden. Lejean leaves, fully recovered: "He will be able to tell you my position and all that I have suffered as a result of my understandings that have existed between the country that adopted me and the one that I have defended for so long: Everything leads me to believe that these difficulties would not have arisen if one had been, here, conciliatory and dispassionate; things to the truth are beginning to clear up a little, but it is no less true that they were at first presented in an ugly manner; never a conversation, a discussion of interest was ever fully poured out, and yet such a desire expressed by me was reported as a condition... I always remember with pride, my dear praetor, that the sword which I carry in Sweden is the same one which served me to repel the enemies of France, and my first desire, as the first need of my heart, will be to reconcile my new duties with the feelings which I will always keep for his majesty the Emperor and for my ancient homeland".... An L.A.S. of Clémentine d'ORLÉANS Princesse de SAXECOBOURG (1817-1907) is attached to the Marshal of Mac-Mahon, Paris 23rd February 1894.
