French military commander (1755-1820) and one of the original 18 marshals of the empire created by Napoleon. ALS in French, signed “Lefebvre,” one page, 7.75 x 9.75, October 2, 1806. Letter to Napoleon, whom he asks the favor of appointing his first aide-de-camp, Colonel Boukler, as a brigadier general. He is in much need of an officer of equal courage who will command his advance posts. General Traillou is a little tired. The colonel was already known to Napoleon. In fine condition, with light mottled toning. A splendid letter, accompanied by a handsome colored lithograph portrait.
