Lannes ( Jean). Signed autograph letter to his wife Louise Guéhenneuc. Burgos, January 14, 1809. 3 pp. in-4. Long and beautiful letter on its sending to Zaragoza. "I wrote to you in my last letter, my dear Louise, that I was leaving to take command of the bodies of General Junot and Morthier who are in front of Zaragoza, I don't need to tell you how upset I am about that, it is considered that His Majesty is leaving for Paris, I intend to accompany him well, he attaches the greatest prize to the capture of Zaragoza, he wished that I go, I didn't want to refuse, but I promise you that I will leave this place as soon as possible, which will not really be restored for three months, I will keep you well informed of my military operations, you will deserve, my dear friend, that I will scold you for what you told me in one of your letters, that you believe that I do not need to take care of you, I prove the opposite by writing to you almost every day. I have just spent two weeks in good pain, my dear Louise, I followed Her Majesty pandering all the time, without a servant, nor having enough to change my shirt once, so I was loaded with vermin. I do not remember ever having suffered so much, it must be added that I was still suffering from my fall from a horse. I swear, my dear Louise, it takes more than dedication to Her Majesty to have endured all the fatigue, no one has even noticed that I suffer. Back near my dear Louise, I would only think of the pleasure of writing to her, yes, my good friend, this idea makes me happy. Don't worry, if you don't hear from me as often as when I was near the emperor, the letters leave Zaragoza, come to Madrid, for France. For the same reason, I will receive news from you less often, so, my dear Louise, you must write to me more often, and tell me a lot about your health. I think that your friend[Louise's father, François Scholasastique Guéhenneuc] will have given orders to destroy the rabbits at Maison[château du maréchal Lannes,
