Chapter II

Cherissime Humboldt, you are acquainted with all the pretenders to all the crowns. Please read the inclosed letter, and inform me who the _Seigneur Cados_ may be—who were his father, mother, and ancestors, and also what are his titles to the crown of France, which I shall certainly try to procure for him?

FREDERIC GUILLAUME, Pr. Royal.

B. _21 Feb., 1839_.
