LS in French, signed “Napol,” one page, 7.25 x 9, May 20, 1807. Letter to Marshal Kellermann. In part (translated): “I received your letter of May 12. You can allow the cavalry to leave without coats but be sure to advise General Clarke immediately so that he can have coats made for them in Berlin while these regiments are en route. I have more problems with the cuirasses which I think would be more difficult to have made in this country. Nevertheless it seems to me that you can allow the departure of the cuirassiers without cuirasses if you don’t have any to give them at the time of their departure, even if it means that you have the necessary cuirasses sent on afterwards by post. I attach great value to this armor. I see with pleasure that the regiment from the Magdeburg garrison has left and that the battalions from the garrisons of Erfurt, Hamlin, and Stettin have been organized. But before organizing those of Minden and Munster, the garrisons of Glogau, Spandau and Custrin must be provided for.” In very good to fine condition, with a central vertical fold and scattered light toning and soiling, not affecting legibility.
