Dear Bernard

I’d previously sent you the letter Davout sent to Wellington. Well I’ve found Wellington reply to Davout that might be of interest

P.S if you’ve not read it, I recommend John Gallaher biography on Davout as worth a read, especially in regards to post Waterloo. Davout had many excellent opportunities of smashing parts of the Allied Army  around Paris but chose not to as he knew it would simply make the situation worse and was trying to end the War of as quickly and painlessly for France as possible. Napoleon did say Davout loved France more than he loved him
