This circumstance is going to involve me in great expenses... I'm told I'll need 1,500 pounds' worth of clothing. There will also be several accessories that I'm beginning to foresee and calculate. This expense of clothing may be followed by that of another uniform, for the Resurrection of a Body, on which His Majesty the Emperor has expressed his will, to take place, before or after the Coronation, which is not yet decided... Please make every effort to help me at this time, as merchants, suppliers and others are not extending any credit..." - 2 pages in-8°
