Dear Monsieur de Rothschild
I am glad we will be able to work together on this project. Together I foresee us being far more successful in the project than either of would have been separately. Further, I will check with this Monsieur Chassepot to see if he is interested in working with me in designing a new modern rifle. I am quite confident that he would greatly welcome the funding and my practical expertise in his designing. Hopefully, he agrees to work with us.
I will ensure I contact Charbon Francais post haste.
Yours,

Dear Monsieur Chassepot,
I write to you today M. Chassepot on recommendation of an associate of mine M. de Rothschild, whose an associate of M. Louis-Dreyfus. To this end I have been told that you have taken to inventing, and specifically I have been told you aim to develop a weapon better than the Dreyse Needle rifle. This intention intrigues me greatly, because I am in the process of setting up an arms factory in Paris. If you are willing I would love to have the opportunity to meet with you in person and discuss potential business and technical partnership together. It is my intention as well to develop a modern breach-loading rifle as well, and I think together we will be able to have greater success than either of us could in isolation.
If you are interested in meeting in person in Paris write back to inform me. It is my intention that during such a meeting any business concerns or requirements needed can be worked out. If cost is a concern for you I will happily compensate any travel expenses you have during the time. I look forward to hearing back from you.
Yours,
Général Godefroy Raymond de la Rh

Dear Your Imperial Highness,
Since my sudden removal from command from the army a few weeks ago I have had significantly more time to manage my estates and properties. Consequently, my son Baptisté is no longer needed by the family to run our estates full time and he has inquired with me if I had any opportunities for him. To this I recall in one of our last meetings prior to your exile from France that you intended to set up business interests in England while you were away. Thus, I inquire of you if sending my son Baptisté to London to meet with you to aid you in your proposed business would be agreeable. He is most skilled at management and finance and can serve as an intermediary between us if need be.
If circumstances in London do not work out to have him stay there with you please inform me post haste.
Yours,
Général Godefroy Raymond de la Rh
