One of Napoleon’s favorite Marshals (1753–1815). LS in French, signed “A. Berthier,” one page, 7.25 x 9, April 4, 1812. Untranslated letter to another famous Marshal of Napoleon, Lefevre, Duke of Dantzig, during the tragic Russian campaign, transmitting military orders from Napoleon. The emperor also needs wheat grain to feed his troops and Marshal Bertier arranges with Marshal Duke of Dantzig for its transport. Central horizontal and vertical fold, with vertical fold through first letter of signature, a uniform shade of toning, and a few minor creases, otherwise fine condition. Any letter from the Russian campaign is quite scarce.
