Hortense and Napoleon’s sister Caroline wrote similar letters at a similar time. Hortense wants you to know she received in return a long and caring handwritten letter from Napoleon while his sister received an impersonal form letter.
We last finished reading: With Napoleon in Russia and the memoirs of Napoleon’s Valet Marchand from their time together all over Europe and at St. Helena.
Now I’m reading the Memoirs of Hortense Bonaparte. All three writers of these memoirs are considered exceptionally honest. All three essentially lived with Napoleon. Then I plan to read a selection of Napoleon’s letters to ladies. You will see that Napoleon is the same person in all of these accounts. I’m doing this because I believe this is important and that our whole present world-in-crisis comes out of this True story.
