Marshal DAVOUT, wife of Marshal DAVOUT, Princess of ECKMUHL, sister of General LECLERC, sister-in-law of Pauline BONAPARTE, married in 1801. She has 4 sons and 4 daughters - Letter A.S. of June 3, 1824: "I am extremely sensitive, Mr. Marshal, to the desire that you showed me to go to my hotel on Monday to read in the presence of some common friends, all associated with the glory of the Marshal and all appreciators of his beautiful and great character, the speech that you proposed to pronounce in the Chamber of Peers. I am convinced in advance that you have paid a glowing tribute to the warrior and paid a just tribute of regrets to all titles. Receive in advance the expression of all my gratitude which is well shared by my family... It seems to me that noon would be a rather suitable time to bring together Generals Baillard, Bourek, Laville and Dumas if the feast of Pentecost does not prevent him from returning to his campaign on Monday; As for me, I will go to Paris on the day indicated and I will remain there for a few days... ". Autograph signature "la Male Psse d'Eckmühl" of June 3, 1824.
