Élisa BONAPARTE (1777-1820) sister of Napoleon, Grand Duchess of Tuscany. L.S., Poggio Imperial June 28, 1809, to Cambacérès, Archchancellor of the Empire; 1page in-4 (slight russeting). She thanks him for having informed her "that the Conseil d'Etat had adopted for the Grand Duchy the project of reducing duties on wines to one franc, which proves a reduction of fifty centimes". This is "a new benefit from H.M. the Emperor, added to all those with which he has blessed Tuscany"... Enclosed is a copy of a letter from the Count of Kolowrath to his daughter, "letter unsealed by the police and communicated to Buonparte", Breslau [March 1815], on Napoleon's return to France (2p. in-fol.).
