Châteaudun June 8, 1821, to General d'Autichamp, thanking him for his approach to the Minister of War: "I had little hope that S. Ex would think of me, but since he did not, I was able to find a solution. Ex would think of me, but since she was willing to assure you that she was waiting for a favorable moment to place me in the guard, I want to flatter myself a little more with the desire that I have to enter this corps"...

[...] As for my political career, it is difficult for me, Sir, to give you documents without arousing many passions: I was unfortunately, by my position with Madame, the point of focus where all the features came to be directed [...] I thought that time, and a few milestones placed from distance would one day make my devotion appreciated in its true colors, and especially would make known with what elevation of thought Madame had led this noble enterprise "... A L.A. is enclosed. (the end is missing), thanking for the sending of volumes, and evoking his disagreement with the marquis de Goulaine about the Vendée insurrection of 1832.
