A most interesting political letter. Bugeaud in no way accused his correspondent of levity: Ê". Je sais que sur la scne politique les choses changent comme les dŽcorations de l'OpŽra... Thiers ne m'a parlŽ de cette grande question (The presidential election) que lorsqu'il Žtait dŽjˆ dŽcidŽ ˆ soutenir la candidature de Louis Napoleon (Napoleon III fut Žlu le 10 DŽcembre 1848)... Il se borna ˆ me dire: si l'on eut voulu un civil mon nom Žtait indiquŽ: si l'on eutÊ voulu une ŽpŽe, c'Žtait la v™tre...Le marŽchal dŽsire qu'on ait pris le bon parti par le choix de Louis Napoleon; Il faut que les conservateurs se rallient ˆ ce choix, s'ils s'Žtaient tous unis sur Bugeaud ils ne l'auraient point fait triompher...mais j'ai la conviction que j'aurais triomphŽ contre Cavaignac...suivent des dŽtailsÉJÕ imagine, poursuit plus loin le marŽchal,Ê qu'avant de se dŽcider, on aura demandŽ des garanties de paroles, car il ne peut pas en donner d'autres, ˆ Lo Non. J'ignore entirement les motifs du brusque changement de Mr Thiers; je pense, comme vous qu'il doit y en avoir..."; Il ne veut tre ministre d'aucun prŽtendant; il veut sans doute se mŽnager pour lÕavenir,Ó.
