BONAPARTE (Caroline). Autograph letter signed "Caroline" to her sister Pauline Bonaparte. S.l., "le 18 f[évrie]r". 2/3 p. in-8, small marginal cracks due to opening. "My dear Pauline, I received your letter of the 9th: I see with sorrow that your health is still very poor. Mine is no better, I am suffering a great deal and cannot hope to be well for much longer. I don't talk to you about my sorrows; I hope you feel them all and that your heart can guess mine. I have followed your intentions for your chamberlain Mr de Forbin [Auguste de Forbin, who was also Princess Pauline's lover]. I had him told in Rome, where he was, to leave for Paris. Farewell, my dear Pauline, I love you with all my heart and kiss you. In the same way, the princes and princesses pay their respects to you, they enjoy the privilege of their age and their health is not altered by any sorrow. Farewell once again, always love your affectionate sister...".
