LS in French, signed “Np,” one page, 7.5 x 9, November 1, 1811. Letter to M. Gassendi. In full (translated): “Monsieur Duke of Feltre, I have just looked at the 11th Light-Infantry Regiment. Since this regiment is to receive 1800 conscripts from Italy and is a [a current strength of] 2400 men, which will it bring it to a complete strength of 4000, I ordered 900 recalcitrant conscripts who are supposed to be assigned to it [to be transferred elsewhere]. Have these 900 recalcitrant conscripts be given another destination. Have 10 subjects selected from the elites of the Guards who are capable of being sub-lieutenants and who speak Italian. They should be selected from the Corsicans, Piedmontese, the Genoans, or the Romans. Have them likewise designate five to Saint-Cyr, with the same conditions, and send them to that regiment. On this I pray that God may keep you in His holy protection.” In fine condition, with central vertical and horizontal folds.
