receive the homage of your devotion, and

proves your fidelity to the principle of
national and traditional monarchy, of
which l am the representative, and

me toward France, to be guided by the
magnificent example my father has given
me during life and which he consecrated
by his death, so courageously faced and
accepted in such Christian manner.
Fortified by your aid and by that of
absent friends, who from all parts of
France have already sent me the express
siOns of their devotion, and making APP
peal to all men of heart l will fill, with
out faltering, the mission which falls to
me. Although still young, l am conscious
of my duties, and with my great love for
France, 1 will consecrate all the strength
and energies | possess to fulfill them -

duke cordially thanked his fathers coun-
sellers.
