Genet Jeanne Louise Henriette Campan to Monsieur James Monroe, Sec. of State., 1 May 1816

Abstract

Misfortunes of this revolution. Retired to a little town 15 leagues from Paris and enjoying son's society. Lost three thousand pounds. Battle near farm. So deprived of farm's rent. Nerves of stomach. Recall myself to you, my dear Madame Monroe and my dear scholar Eliza. Only sends letters of recommendation for a few people. Eliza has been indisposed at pains in part of her body after her lying ill. Wearing of flannel shifts and our waters in France, were the proper remedy. Must have some waters on new continent which bear some analogy with Barrage's waters.
