Una lettera manoscritta (14x21 cm) di 3 pagine + una bianca; datata Florence le 27 Janvier 1867. La lettera in francese è scritta e firmata da Léon de Rotru, l'uomo al quale i Torlonia avevano affidato la direzione generale dell'opera di prosciugamento del Lago del Fucino, cominciata nel 1854 e terminata nel 1877.
