I want to know the answer to the following question:
What Corsican leader did Napoleon write in 1789 expressing his nationalist sentiments?
All the background I'm provided with is that "At this time, he was a fervent Corsican nationalist, and wrote to Corsican leader Pasquale Paoli in May 1789, "As the nation was perishing I was born.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
