 wrote to Ord : " I am occupied at this time in arranging the col- 

 lections of our cabinet. As my presence is now essential, I 

 have taken a small country house not far from Havre. It is 

 situated in a quiet valley, a short distance from the sea, which 

 is visible from our windows. Should you return to France you 

 must come and stay with us." He was not destined to enjoy 

 these congenial surroundings for long. On December 12, 1846, 

 he died, after an illness of only a day or two. His burial place 

 is the Church of St. Adresse, in a little valley at the base of 

 Cape la Heve.
