Rare handwritten letter by "Bonaparte," transmitting a large sum of money

Rare ALS in French, signed “Bonaparte,” one page, 4.75 x 7.25, Floreal 23rd (no year), in full (translated): “I am sending you, Madam, 10,000 ff. I thank you for having addressed me. I will always be very happy to find the opportunity to be agreeable to you.” An ink notation below indicates that the addressee is Marie-Euphémie-Désirée de Tascher de La Pagerie (1739-1803), paternal aunt of the future Empress Joséphine. A close friend of the governor of Martinique, the Marquis François de Beauharnais, she had arranged the marriage of her niece to his youngest son, Alexandre de Beauharnais. In very good to fine condition, with overall light creasing.
