He was finally released and rehabilitated after fourteen years, and embarked on a brilliant colonial career). He wrote: "[...] this affair has a prodigious impact and I have no doubt that its importance will call me to Paris as a witness. [...] I confess to you that I am quite saddened by the thought of appearing before a court of law, and having to deal with journalists and the public. I know that I'm here in the interests of society, and I need to remind myself of the motto that the Amberts of the first line have always put into practice: 'Do what you must, come what may' [...]". He goes on to say that he is exhausted by the extra workload created by the large number of recruits. He is discouraged, and sometimes thinks of giving up ""such a thankless and arduous profession, and going to Guadeloupe to look after my father's family's financial interests. "But I banish these thoughts and regain my courage. For injustices have made me energetic. I'm getting on in years and my future doesn't look good, and all my dreams of happiness are disappearing one by one; it's all very sad. [...]"" - BONNAL (Henri, general, 1844-1917), L.A.S., slnd (Tuesday morning 9 a.m.), circa 1910 (according to a later handwritten note in pencil), love letter to his "beloved Germaine". - GALLIFET (Gaston Alexandre Auguste, marquis de, general, 1830-1909), B.A.S., sl, February 11, 1896, 1 p. in-8 (""Monsieur, il n'a jamais été 'sérieusement' question de faire paraître mes mémoires [...]") + B.A.S., slnd (late Thursday evening), to a friend to whom he gave an appointment ("[...] vous pourrez prendre, sur l'original, copie de 'L'Incident est clos'."). - TROCHU (Louis Jules, general, 1815-1896), L.A.S., Versailles, February 28, 1872, 1 p. in-8 to a colleague (requests 2 admission cards for Friday's session).
