Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ralph Heathcote: Letters of a Young Diplomatist and Soldier During the Time of Napoleon Giving an Account of the Dispute Between the Emperor and the Elector of Hesse Some time ago, whilst looking for a paper in my grandfather´s old writing-table, I happened to light upon a drawer which none of us had ever observed before. Quite at the back, hidden by bundles of old business papers, lay a small packet carefully tied up and sealed, which bore the following inscription in faded ink: "Letters written by myself, at different periods of my life, to my beloved mother; found at her demise, 2 November, 1830." It is needless to describe the curiosity and interest with which I opened and read the letters. Some of them were over a hundred years old, and evidently no one had set eyes upon them since Ralph Heathcote himself had sealed them up long ago. Until then my grandfather had been little more than a name to me, when suddenly and unexpectedly I was, so to say, enabled to live with him during the most thrilling and important period of his life. Instead of being an utter stranger, he had become an intimate friend. My one regret was that my dear mother - his only daughter - had never seen these records of her father´s youth.
