ALEXANDRE II (1818-1881) EMPEREUR DE RUSSIE, ROI DE POLOGNE ET GRAND-DUC DE FINLANDE Lettre manuscrite adressée à Ekaterina Dolgorukova. Lettre n° 73 (13/25 mars 1869 et 14/26 mars)
Jeudi 13/25 mars 1869, à midi.
Vendredi 14/26 mars, à 9 ½ h. du matin.
Lettre sur feuillet plié en deux, 4pp. 19 x 11,7 cm Jeudi 25 mars 1869, 15h

Alexandre II a de nouveau les craintes quant au comportement de son ‘amie’ et n’a plus le courage de passer devant sa fenêtre, comme il avait pour habitude de faire, mais surtout comme il en avait l’intention de faire pendant cette journée : ‘ … me fait de nouveau craindre que tu recommences tes scènes de bouderie… ‘
Alexandre II lui demande une fois de plus pardon pour son comportement et argumente en disant ‘Nous sommes trop jaloux de tout ce qui appartient à l’autre’.
