LS in French, signed “Nap.,” one page, 7 x 9, March 9, 1811. Interesting letter to his Minister of War, the Duc de Feltre, General Henri-Jaques Guillaume Clarke, in part (translated): "Monsieur the Duke of Feltre, I do not make any distinction between the Line Infantry and the Light Infantry for the position of Lieutenant Colonel and Deputy Major. I have consequently made a correction to the decree you had proposed to me in this sense—each lieutenant colonel or deputy major will keep the uniform they had at their previous rank, only changing the epaulettes." In fine condition.
