French military commander (1755–1820) and one of the original 18 marshals of the empire created by Napoleon. Partly-printed DS, in French, signed “Lefebvre,” one page, 8.25 x 12.5, January 13, 1800. A request to the Administrators of the Department of the Seine. In part (translated): “Several times, Citizen Administrators, seditious gangs have dared to seize draftees…from the armed forces…such public violation of the laws is…most punishable treason and deserves the severest repression on your part. I therefore ask you to proclaim immediately a firm resolution which will repulse force with force.” Boldly signed at the conclusion by Lefebvre. In very good condition, with intersecting folds, scattered light toning, wrinkling, and foxing, paper loss to one corner tip, and light show-through from writing on reverse. Accompanied by an etched portrait of him in uniform.
