MARIE-LOUISE (1791-1847) Empress of the French, second wife of Napoleon I. L.A.S., Parma 27 May 1833, to Dr. FERRARI in Piacenza; 2 pages in-8, envelope. About her son Guillaume (1819-1895; the father was Neipperg). She thanks the doctor for the reassuring news he gives her about Guillaume, whom she now sees, thanks to the doctor's good care, "radiant with health and freshness and perhaps even stronger than before this unfortunate crisis. My fears having diminished you will see that I will soon recover, I still had a fever last night and a lot of agitation with sweat but since the morning my pulse is quite regular and I devoured with a wolf's appetite a small piece of chicken"... She will take care of her leg; but she is "convinced that against rheumatism there is only one remedy: patience"...
