Choice LS in French, signed “Napoleon,” one page, 8 x 9.5, December 1, 1806. Letter to “my sister and cousin,” likely his brother Joseph’s wife Julie Clary, the queen of Naples. In part (translated): "Your Majesty does not doubt of the high value I attach to your gracious favors and how content I should be to be of service to Your Majesty. When all this has been cleared up I’ll be very happy to do something that will please you. May Your Majesty never have any doubts about my sentiments for you. With this, my sister and cousin, I pray God that He keep you in his holy and worthy care.” In fine condition. The next day Napoleon celebrated two significant anniversaries: it had been two years since his coronation as emperor of the French and one year since his great victory at the Battle of Austerlitz. A superior, boldly signed letter boasting an outstanding example of his rarely seen full first-name signature. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
