Collection | Correspondence of William IV |
Description | The Duke communicates that Frederick [FitzClarence?] is not feeling well, but was still able to return to Sandhurst. He briefly analyses the current political situation looking, in particular, at Napoleon's latest, unsuccessful attempt to invade Russia: he believes that Napoleon's fall is certain and will happen soon. Still concerning the failed Russian campaign, the Duke expresses contempt for the French Generals abandoning their men on the field. |
