Jean-Baptiste Campenon (Tonnerre, 5 May 1819 – Neuilly-sur-Seine, 16 March 1891), French general and politician, Minister of War from 14 November 1881 to 26 January 1882 in Gambetta's cabinet (Wikipedia, «Jean-Baptiste Campenon», https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Baptiste_Campenon; reader footnote 093.0379.1).

Relevance to Marie

On 17 November 1881, three days after the «grand ministère» was formed, a feverish night: «le nouveau ministère me hantait et je voyais Dieu sait à quel propos le général Campenon et son épouse qui paraît-il le gouverne [...] harcelée toute la nuit», then waking in the dark at eight o'clock (093.0379). The dream is her only mention.
