Joseph FOUCHÉ. L.A.S. (minute signed with an initials), Prague 26 August 1816 1 page and a half in-8. Letter from exile, referring to his Memoirs. He has chosen to stay in Prague, in order to find some rest... "If I had liked the noise of the city, I would have gone to Prague. If I had liked the noise I would have moved closer to France, I would have accepted the apartment that the King offered me in Belgium. I have not yet published my memoirs, people are too agitated to listen to me. - It was with regret and without my participation that I saw my letter to the Duke of Wellington printed - I would have kept it in my wallet if the London papers had not given informal fragments of it. Despite my extreme moderation, judge what it produced. The French libellists no longer have anything new to say against me; they are reduced to repeating their crude slanders. It is quite simple that people who have committed an indignity continue to accuse their victim. It will take time to arrive at an idea of justice. When the order of things has been disturbed for twenty-five years, nothing can be re-established except gradually. Statesmen do not want to understand that by their violence they are delaying matters instead of advancing them. Farewell, speak of me to all our friends, tell them that my only sorrow in exile is to be far from them"...
