L.A.S. "Alexander", Breslau 12/24 October 1859, to his "dear and good Cousin" [his first cousin LOUISE DE PRUSSE, Grand Duchess of BADEN?]; 2 pages in-8; in French. He thanks his cousin for her kind letter "on the occasion of the majority of my son"; he has been all the time by ways and means. "The arrival of your brother in Warsaw was a real joy of heart for me, because you know how much I love him and I am happy to be able to enjoy him still here. I was very angry to learn of my poor Uncle's new indisposition and that it deprived me of the pleasure of seeing him again. I make very sincere wishes for his health to be strengthened, and I beg you to remind me of his good memory"... Attached is an engraved portrait of the King of Rome.
