AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Ferdinand-Philippe d'ORLÉANS (1810-1842), eldest son of Louis-Philippe I, King of the French and of Marie-Amélie of Bourbon, Princess of the Two Sicilies
Autograph letter signed to a Marshal. “Tuesday, 3 o'clock.” 1 page on a half sheet.
A letter relating to the various exercises, maneuvers and parades that he planned at Vincennes and on the Champs-de-Mars.
“Not wishing to trouble you at the Council, my dear Marshal, I write this note on your desk. Here are the plans I intended to submit to you for Thursday and Friday.
- Thursday, at 7 o'clock in the morning, at the Vincennes polygon, artillery drill. Firing of the light infantry (chasseurs à pied), maneuvers of the attached batteries and of the chasseurs’ corps. These exercises could take place simultaneously. After the lunch I would give at Vincennes to the princes and the officers, would come the visit of the place.
- Friday, if you approve, a parade review would take place at the Champ de Mars, at 6 o'clock in the morning, with the force of which General Pajol spoke to you last night at Neuilly. General Schneider could send there the Hecquet Brigade of Courbevoie, but the cavalry would be rather scant; and I would wish that it would be possible to bring from Versailles the brigade of General Bougenel, as has been done very often for many reviews.
(This review, moreover, would not be long, and it would be unfortunate not to display our cuirassiers, which are good to show.)
A thousand pardons, my dear Marshal, for the new trouble I am giving you. Please accept the assurance of all my sentiments of attachment.”
