An invitation is dispatched to the following individuals: Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte (@etranger01), M. Alexander Decombes (@naxhi24), François Pierre Felix Christoper Victor de Levis, Comte de Charlus (@Jackbollda), Louis de Rohan, Prince de Guémené (@Michaelangelo) and Clément Larousse (@Fingon888).
To the men of fine virtue and proper governance,
I would like to invite you, to come join my person, and that of my beloved sister-in-law Amélie Constance Félicité d’Armentières the Princesse d’Armentières, at the Hôtel de Lassay, where all of us, who desire public order, stability and the prosperity of our beloved country, may meet in friendship and confidence. We must bring about a legitimate body in the coming election, which has the support of the people to write a proper constitution, and for such an endeavor, a show of unity and strength, between our esteemed individuals, will be of paramount importance.
I invite you so that we may discuss freely, our vision and desire, for this French constitution and the future of our homeland. It is our duty now, to ensure that the radicals do not tear the foundations of our history, culture, society and prosperity away at their roots. We must take up the duty which God has passed onto us in this hour, and see that the French people are heard and protected against any potential abuse or machinations of people seek only power.
And of course, I shall ensure the very best of wine and feast aplenty, to such envy that the ‘government’ shall no doubt henceforth ban it, in their wretched misery and unhappiness.
With eager anticipation,
Phillipe Henri de Bourbon, Comte de la Marche

General,
I know that the duty, and your honour, as a proper Frenchman may very well prevent you of any chance to meet me in person. But I am holding a meeting of esteemed individuals at the Hôtel de Lassay in the coming weeks prior to the forth coming election. I have invited men of conservative leaning, no matter what their opinion be on our rightful government, be that republican, monarchy or empire. I have also been told that you are a man of such leanings, and integrity. Equally important, I am told that you have the respect of our soldiers, and as such, I would like for you to come and speak on their behalf, and your own convictions to my person and friends about their plight, and your ideas for our prosperous future. If due to your duty, that you may be able to convene with my person, and that of likeminded individuals, we would never hold against you, but I hope you may send a representative in your stead should that be the case.
My family has always been close to the army, even if I have not had the honour of serving alongside our fine soldiers, and I have no desire to see such an ancient friendship and connection falter. I seek to lead a new movement, which benefits all in France, not just the Parisian public, and I hope that you will support me.
With the deepest respect and admiration,
Phillipe Henri de Bourbon, Comte de la Marche
To Louis Alphonse Edmond de Chalançon-Polignac, Prince of Polignac (@m.equitum)
Your Highness,
I hope that my letter finds you in good health and prosperity, even as France wakes up to either cries of joy, or tears of sorrow. I cannot for one, know which it is as of yet. But that is of little matter, for I believe that regardless, it is the duty of such individuals as us, to take up the task which God has now granted us and strive to seek a proper elected body, who may draft a prosperous constitution for our homeland.
While I may not be able to speak for the government of France, then I do speak as a friend and I wish to invite you to come home. To meet with me, as both of our fathers did back in the days of Louis XVIII, and to labour together, to bring forward the happiness, prosperity and greatness, which the French people so sorely desire and deserve.
I further wish to invite, to come to the Hôtel de Lassay, to meet not only me, but also my dear sister-in.law, Amélie Constance Félicité d’Armentières, Princesse d’Armentières. Here in the coming weeks, I will be holding a gather, of likeminded conservative leaning individuals, whether they be Republicans, Orleanists, Bonapartists or Legitimists. For I believe that we all desire a proper future for France, where old proper virtues and the position of France in the world, is recognized for what it truly should be.
I know this letter may find you late, but I hope that you will take the time, and rush if need be, to come meet me, my family and our friends. To end your long time exile, and work with me, for a prosperous future, that French people deserve, and that our ancestors so dreamed of. I wish to embrace you as a close, as our fathers once did, and I can only hope you feel the same, for you are held in such high regards by all that I spoke with, during my short time stay as Secretary to his Excellency, the Ambassador Merivée to the Court of St. James.
With the deepest respect,
Phillipe Henri de Bourbon, Comte de la Marche
