Summary
Reporting that yesterday they gained a significant advantage over the Prussian army; commenting on Bismarck's demands; reassuring her that they are all doing well; saying that he may not be able to send money at the beginning of October, because it could be seized by the enemy; writing that he was on guard on the ramparts yesterday and the day before yesterday, that they heard cannon fire all night long, and that they're starting to get used to the noise; sending greetings to her and to his mother Eugénie.
