"I'll have to part with her so that I don't have any more, if it's a big boy I'll console myself, but if it's a girl I'll throw her into the sea or I'll send her to you in a well sealed box […]. The queen sends for me to go to Portici by sea […]”. “We have an extremely joyful and tiring carnival, it's all masked balls and gambling, but I don't find it very fun […]. My wife goes to the ball a lot and she has a lot of fun, my little ones are doing wonderfully and are really pretty […]. The King and Queen love them very much […]”.

The Minister of War and the Grand Marshal have just been dismissed and are returning to France. You must believe what a train it has been here […]”. He talks about his stay in Paris with Queen Caroline, his various appointments, etc. " The Emperor's trip is postponed as regards the return on the 10th or 12th of November, so I presume that there will be no trip from Fontainebleau, or if there was, it would be extremely short. On the other hand, HM the Queen gave me a glimpse in a conversation I had the honor to have with her, that on HM's return she might have some very interesting despatches to convey to the King, and that it would be me […]”. Back in Naples, he was reunited with his family in good health. Mde de Rocquemont had just received from HM the King for his New Year's gift the portrait of HM surrounded by 24 superb and large diamonds. It's a superb gift, my wife also received several court dresses and coats […]. There was the very day of our arrival in Naples, a magnificent eruption of Vesuvius which lasted 48 hours. I had never seen such a strong one […]. Mr le gal Excelmans is leaving for Paris this evening. He is said to be looking for the Queen. It may be that you will see me again soon, especially if he stays in his wife's diapers, so I will leave immediately […]”. He gives instructions for fitting out his château in the Bordeaux region, in particular for the cellar. Back from Russia, he gives his news. “You must have learned from the Moniteur of the death of the gallant Dery [Pierre César Déry (1768-1812)], captain of the King's Guards. It is this same officer to whom, in a matter before Vitepsk, I overtook and returned his horse from which he had been knocked down beside me in a cavalry charge. Victor knew him a little […]”. He announces his appointment as “Major in the National Guard of the corps that I command […]. The Emperor is in Paris. If you are there, try to lend a hand so that my appointment as baron is decided […]. You know that HM the King by decree of the 29th of last month has just appointed me colonel of the regiment of cuirassiers of his guard which he has just created. It is my old corps which is the core of it, this regiment has just been increased to 800 horsepower, and this new rank gives me the rank of brigadier general in the line […]. It remains to tell you that if I reached such a high military rank in such a short time, fatigue, illness and above all work did not fail me, not to mention the dangers. But my star is happy. Till now God preserve and sustain me. I look forward to the moment when I can tell you all the things that have happened to me over the past year […]”.
