LS in French, signed “Nap.” one page, 7.25 x 9, 1812. Napoleon writes to the Duc de Feltre, Minister of War, suggesting that a gunpowder manufactory on Prussian soil be used to supply the French army’s needs for the entire year of 1812. Two trivial marginal pinholes, otherwise very fine, fresh condition. An outstanding, unusually bright, beautifully preserved example! Auction LOA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
