Henri d'Orléans, duc d'AUMALE (1822-1897) son of Louis-Philippe; general, he distinguished himself in Algeria against Abd-el-Kader. L.A.S., Twickenham, August 1, 1856, to a friend; 3 pages in-8. He thanks for the shipment of cheeses, then talks about "Breton cows; my wife would definitely like to have eight of them with their bull; she thought no one could compose and ship this little herd better than you"; they will have to sell their cows first. "I envy you your agricultural explorations in your beautiful and good Normandy, which is still after all and in every way one of the best countries in France"...
