Description

LS in French, signed “Np,” one page both sides, 7.25 x 9, April 8, 1815. Letter to his Interior Minister, the count Carnot, whom he informs about the nomination of a new prefect for the Departement Pas de Calais who was soon to be expected arriving from Pau. The troops in this area (16th division in the north) barely held the line. He proposes that the State Council of Arras should unseat the sub-prefects, mayors and other officials appointed by the King and replace them by others. A postscript in another hand reports the departure of Baron Ronjoux from Paris before midnight; however, this should not prevent the appointment of a city council who is to depart during the night. In fine condition, with intersecting folds and light creasing.
