France Buys Old
Napoleon Love
Letters for $4,000
Immense Sum Paid to Keep
Collection From Being
Dispersed
By HARRY L. PERCY


LONDON, Dec. 10. {UP)-The
French government paid $4,000
yesterday for 31S of Napoleon's
unpublished love letters to his en-
press, Marie Louise. The order
came from Paris at the last min
ute, to save the unusual collection
from dispersion.
The bid was entered by B. q.
Maggs of Maggs Brothers, bidding
on behalf of the French minister
of education. Maggs bid merely
against unstated reserve price,
starting at S12,500 and advancing
$4,000 each bid until the $4,000
figure (S15,00O pounds) W a S
reached. The auctioneer knocked
the historic documents down at
that price. The bidding lasted
slightly more than minute.
Last year, eight of Napoleon's
earlier love letters to Josephine
fetched $4,000. The owner of
the parcel up yesterday was be-
lieved to be an Austrian archduke,
descendant of Marie Louise.
Napoleon's ardor for his en-
press is shown by the fact that
they include 112 letters written
during, the 191 disastrous days of
his Russian campaign to Moscow.
The earliest letter in the collec-
ton, revealing Napoleon as an ar
dent lover as we'll as soldier, was
written in February, 1910. Napo-
leon, who had angered the Car
Alexander by breaking off pro

successfully negotiated with the
Austrian court for an alliance
with Marie Louise.
Knowing the girl had been
trained to loathe him, Napoleon IN
this initial letter tries to flatter
her by assuring her never should
she doubt his constant worship o
her. He added he was in perfect
health. but the weather was bit
terly cold.
Between December 5, 1872 and
April Is, 1913, there are no let
tiers in this collection. They be,
gin again on the latter date, and
Napoleon wrote 100 epistles up
to November 7, 1913. Less than
a fortnight before the debacle at
Leipzig in Octobery he asks her
to amuse herself and be cheerful.
References to the wars are mere
ly casual and he makes mention
in a playful way to Marie Louise's
father, Emperor of Austria, as
"Papa Frantz."
The following spring of 1914,
however, the letters show Napo-
Icons anxiety, and asks her to use
her influence with her father on
his side. At 3 a. m, March 81
1914, Napoleon announces the

The Hendersonville All-Star
basketeers dropped a 20 to 20 de-

ness college five on the floor of
the high school gymnasium last
night. In preliminary game
Coach T. A. Cathey's Edneyville

a 81 to s lacing.
The play of the locals was er.
ratio and after few minutes OF
the second period they lost the
services of Harry Williams, high
scoring center, who started the
game sick with a cold and was
forced to retire.
Both teams missed many scor-
ing opportunities during the game,
particularly in the first half, and
the Hendersonville team never
got the range. Passing of both
outfits was ragged during part
of the contest, due largely to the
chilly blasts which swept the
gym.
The visitors got away to an 8
to lead at the quarter. This
was cut to IL to 8 by the locals
at the half, and Blanton led by
7 points at the third period. In
the fourth the visitors swept to
a 13-point lead which was reduc-
ed by a belated squirt on the part
of the locals in the final minute
of the game.
