Description

Small 4to. 1/3 page. With address. In this note Napoléon refers to another letter he wrote previously, urging the recipient to pursue matters in his sense and presenting himself as the most suitable person to promote things: "Je ne avais parlé qu'après donner dictat [?] à cette lettre et je vous prie d'elle faire la petition d'écrire que personne n'est destiné autant [.] que moi et non plus noté à pouvoir faire quelque chose que puisse le poursuivre. Si mes occupations me laisse[nt] [.] je ferais moimême avec urgence sa lettre. | Bonaparte". (Translation: "I only spoke after having dictated [?] the letter, and I request you to make a petition of it, writing that nobody is so destined or more respected than I am to do something that could advance it. If my occupations permit me I will treat your letter urgently myself. Bonaparte". - Addressee illegible. Extensive spotting with slight damage to folds, reinforced in parts.
