French commander in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars who rose to Marshal of France and Marquis. LS in French, signed “Gouvion Saint-Cyr,” one page, 7.75 x 12, Armee Du Rhin letterhead, January 10, 1796. Letter to Division General Marceau [Francois Severin Marceau-Desgraviers], mortally wounded the same year. In part (translated): “You will find enclosed a letter from General Pichegru for General Jourdan. I ask you to have him send the Left of my Division to occupy the village of Silberkircham to join your Right…so that communication between these two armies can be established by these two positions.” In very good condition, with intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, and scattered foxing. Accompanied by a certificate testifying to the Republican values of Grenadier Bulliat, signed by 13 members of “the Avant-Garde of the Army of the Rhine,” Sept. 26, 1794, with a water-colored vignette of a horse and rider brandishing his sword in a charge.
