FRoHsDoRr, Sept. 10, 1873.
The feeling which one experiences, my dear Wis.
count, on reading the details which you gave me
on the revolutionary propaganda in your province
is one Of sadness. People cannot stoop lower in
order to procure arms against u.s. and nothing is
more unworthy the French character. To be re.
duced in 1873 to evoking the phantom OF the dtnae
OF eudal rights OF religious Intolerance, OF perse
cuton against brothers separated from MS In creed
the phantom (what more need sayt) of q war
undertaken under impossible conditions, of a
government OF priests, OF the ascendency OF
privileged classesl You will admit that things
SO little serious cannot be seriously an
swered. To what falsehoods has not dis
honesty resorted when the question was how
public credulity could be worked upon? know
very well that it is not always easy, witnessing
these unworthy manGuvres to preserve one's com.

such fooleres Above ALL make point OF appeal

reconstruction. You know that am not party,
and that will not come back to reign by means OF

have the need OF me. AS for the reconciliation

OF giving France its proper rank in the dearest In

greatness. Count, my dear Rodez, upon my ntire
gratitude and constant afecton HENRY.
