Note 27 — Chapter XI · THE ART TREASURES OF THE MUSÉE CONDÉ AND HOW THEY WERE BROUGHT TOGETHER
Reading edition
Dear and Royal Brother,
I have just read your appreciative words about me. I write to you with emotion. You are a prince by birth and have become a man. For me your Royalty has ceased to be political and is now historical; my Republican conviction is not disturbed by it. You have contributed to the greatness of France. And I love you.
