Marshal of France (1794–1864). ALS in French, signed “Msl. Pelissier Duke of Malakoff,” one page both sides, 5.25 x 8.25, August 1, 1861. Letter written as Governor General of Algeria, reads, in part (translated): “My dear poet, but a poet become unfruitful…In Gran where your flutist makes the forest resound with beautiful music…his lazy colonel is savoring the sweetness of the shady woods…instead of doing like those old Normans, my ancestors, who hastened to conquer the Angles stella monstrante cometa [the comet showing the way]…I often think of that beautiful Queen of Niniveh…who gets me to come down from the throne like that illustrious loser of Novara who was in fact, the first King of Italy.” Central horizontal and vertical fold, a uniform shade of mild toning, and light show-through from writing on reverse, otherwise fine condition.
