Scope and Contents
In the Journal of the 14th, she read an article on "Bonaparte and Josephine". In it McMaster says that they never were married in the Catholic Church through a trick of Cardinal Fesch, who foresaw that Napoleon might some day desire a separation. If such was the case, why was there any necessity for seeking a divorce when he decided marrying Maria Louisa? She thinks that was the time to use the Cardinal's device if it could be proved that there was no marriage, and there was no need to bother the Holy Father about it. She asks McMaster to answer this question. :: I-2-a A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
