LOST NAPOLEON NOTES FILL GAP AUTHOR SOUGHT French Biographer Mourned L Lack: Bciieved Letters " Gone Forever. BY WILLIAM M. LAAS Tim?* Writer Napoleon Bonaparte has been called ‘ the greatest letter-writer of all time “ He left behind him more than 100.000 letters and documents, more perhaps than any other historic individual. Yet no autograph is more in demand by collectors than the Little Corporals majestic scrawl. The rarity that makes autographs valuable does not apply—the tracks of the Eagles claw ar eagerly sought, no matter how many of them are discovered. Napoleon was one of the most versatile, as well as one of the most • prodigious of history’s famous correspondents. His letters are. indeed. the only authentic history of his life. Scholars of Napoleonana have been notoriously biased. Either they loved him or they hated him. and their narratives are colored accordingly. Only the letters j speak the truth. * In a sad comment on the laek of known correspondence between Napoleon and Marie Louise, Frederic Masson, one of the great French authorities on Napoleon, remarked: * This terrible gap, which apparently never will be completed, I clo ed up as best I could, but how badly! . . . For just one of those letters who would not give all the commentaries? They are character, temperament, genius, and the soul itself. With them before you, you neither suppose nor deduce: The man himself appears.” Missing I ink Supplied Mas.-on had spent years of unremitting effort in a search for this correspondence, but his zeal netted inm but one letter from Mane Louise and but six or seven from Napoleon. They were the sorely mi sed link in the learned scholars knowledge of the great Corsican. It is these missing letters which were recently purchased by the French government, and which will be published for the first time since they were written. 121 years ago, in The Indianapolis Times. The “terrible gap - ’ has at last been closed. v The existing correspondence of vfapoieon begins with a boyish “Buonaparte,” signed in the minute book of the Revolutionary Committee of Ajaccio, Corsica, when the future emperor was a lad in his early twenties. ‘ It continues to the height of his pomp and power, when in the Tuileries in Paris he affixed an imperial ' “N” to dossiers and documents. It ends on the island of St. Helena in 1816. when the chained Titan signed a shaky but still defiant “Napoleon.” Great Napoleon Explained letters from Elba often bore a wretched “Napn.” and on St. Helena “Napoleon" became shaky and almost senile, but written in full as “Bonaparte'' had been written in , his youth. While the signature of Napoleon is superabundant, letters written in full (“holographs.” as the experts call them) are extremely rare. One reason was that his handwriting—and his grammar—were utterly atrocious. He said liimself: “I can not write well because my nund is engaged on two subjects at once; one, my ideas: the other, my handwriting. The ideas go on fastest, and then good-by to the letters and the lines.” His letters often end in a blot—the pen has collapsed! / The letters that The Indianapolis r Times will publish are a historical document, a love story, an exhibit of psychoanalysis. More than any of the multitudinous relics known before their discovery, they perform an amazing service—they explain the great Napoleon. PROPOSES LOTTERY TO PAY SOLDIERS’ BONUS New Jersey Representative Insinuates He Has Roosevelt Support. By United Pres* WASHINGTON. Jan. 18—Establishment of a national lottery to finance payment of the $2,000,000.0(H) soldiers’ bonus was proposed today by Rep. Edward A. Kenney I’D., N. J.).
