To Marc Favrat, concerning the transfer of the already consecrated remains of princess Elisabeth of Romania (1894-1956) from Cannes to Sigmaringen without further planed ceremonies there, on which Colonel Prosen had already informed Favrat. In this case Favrat's presence is not necessary: "Le corps ayant déjà été béni et enseveli à Canne, il n'a aura plus de grandes solennités à Sigmaringen [...] il n'est point nécessaire que vous veniez ici [...]". - Marc Favrat gained fame through his relationship with princess Elisabeth of Romania (1894-1956) who finally settled in Cannes some years after her expulsion from Romania in 1947, when the Romanian People's Republic had been proclaimed.
