Admiral and Minister
of the Navy and the Colonies
Paris
Venice, 7th October, 1869
Dear Minister,
I have the honour of informing Your Excellency that the yacht
leaves for Piraeus today at 10 o’clock in the morning, taking
the direct route.
Since the dispatch I sent Your Excellency on 3rd October, nothing
of particular interest has happened. The Empress, who is in excellent
health, has spent a great part of each day visiting the town’s
monuments and museums. Everywhere she has been, the population
has paid her the warmest and most respectful signs of greeting.
Your Excellency’s most devoted servant,
|
