Note Footnote 54: — Chapter XXVIII · (continued 2)

My beloved Uncle,—I have to thank you for another dear letter of the 29th. I trust that you have received both mine now. We expect the Empress at half-past one, and I will certainly give her your message. She is very amiable, and one must like her. There seems to be no doubt that there were many scenes, partly about the Pope, and also on account of her sister's funeral; she was so angry with Fould about it that she insisted on his dismissal.54 Then the Priests are said to try and work upon her, and say that her son will die if the Emperor continues dans cette voie against the Pope.
