She marries the diplomat Thomas WYSE in 1821 : Autograph letter signed "Lætitia BONAPARTE-WYSE" of MAISONS-LAFFITTE (78), a Monday 13. 2p 1/3 in-8°, small holes out of text - to Mr the Duke about funds which she needs. "...I do not know how to tell you that the merchants of Maisons (-Laffitte) refuse if they are not immediately paid to supply anything in the future! In the name of what is dear to you, save me from this humiliation! Be my saviour my good Duke and I promise you that my pension as well as the funds that Mr. R. will bring from London will pass through your hands and will be used according to your advice. Mr. Masiras writes me that I am being prosecuted for the wheat affair. Try to see him and find out what is going on. Mrs Stephann tells me that my portrait, my paintings, my trunks and my belongings left at her house have been seized! Please inform yourself of the sale and remove everything that belongs to me from the rue de la Michaudière. I will be in Paris on Wednesday, can you wait for me at your office at half past twelve? Make an effort, Mr. Duke, to get me and my children out of this mess, and you can always count on my gratitude... If you want to go to the Opéra Comique on Friday I have some tickets to give you, I will bring them to you. Farewell to Tuesday, I count on you as on God!"
