Napoleon seeks to supply "the necessary tools for 800 workers" at the close of 1811

LS in French, signed "Np," one page, 7.25 x 9, December 29, 1811. Addressed from Paris, a letter to his Minister of War, the Duc de Feltre, General Henri-Jaques Guillaume Clarke (loosely translated): “It seems to me opportune that the Marine which has a lot of means should provide the necessary tools for the workers, the containers and also the docking. Please send me a report that lets me know which are the necessary tools for 800 workers, how many containers, and of which type. Finally which is the number of horses necessary. After this, I pray to God that could grant you the Holy Guard." In fine condition.
