LS in French, signed “NP,” one page, 7.25 x 9, May 19, 1810. Letter to the Duke of Feltre, in full (translated): “I approve that the 3rd, 4th, 7th temporary half brigade remain in Paris during the month of June; since the Count of Loban finds that this is necessary for them to be in perfect condition. Take the clothing, the armament ensures the accountancy for a half brigade. Order that the departure of the regiment, which composes the 7th half brigade, send the necessary men to complete the detachment. I say the same thing for the half brigade which was in Boulogne and who has orders to join, I believe in Orleans. Send the quarterings of troops, which compose this half brigade, enough to complete it. With four half brigades it should form a division. If you already have sent a half brigade from Paris, it will have to stop only at the Loire. Give orders so that each half brigade have a Colonel in uniform or a Major, and some Majors that you have called during the last expedition against the English to command a battalion or two battalions returning to their quarterings.” Mounted, framed, and in fine condition, with intersecting folds.
