It was a memorable and glorious day for me.

The millions assembled to witness the progress to and from the Abbey was _beyond_ belief, and _all_ in the highest good-humour.

It is a fine ceremony, and a scene I shall _ever_ remember, and with pleasure.

I likewise venture to add that people thought I did my part very well.
The amiable Duc de Nemours dined with me on Friday, comes to _my_ ball to-night, and dines again with me on Wednesday.

Pray tell dearest Aunt Louise that I thank her much for her very kind letter, and will avail myself of her kindness and _not_ write to her this mail.
Feodore is writing in my room, well and happy.
