BONAPARTE AND LORD WHITWORTH.
The Rev. J. Sanford has authorised me to place the following letter in
your hands, in order that you may print it in "N. & Q." should it appear
to be of sufficient interest.
BRAYBROOKE.
"I send you an account of the very memorable scene which occurred at
Madame Bonaparte's drawing-room on the 13th of March, 1803. I believe I
am the only living witness, as those who were near the person of Lord
Whitworth were members of the corps diplomatique, Cobenzel, Marcoff,
Lucchesini, all dead. Many years after I became intimately acquainted
with the Marchese Lucchesini at Florence, when I had an opportunity of
referring to that remarkable conversation.
