Description
MURAT (JOACHIM). "TO COMPLETE THE SYSTEM OF DEFENCE OF THE COAST FROM NAPLES TO REGGIO...". Letter signed "Joachim Napoleon" as King of Naples, addressed to General Jacques-David-Martin Campredon, Chief of Engineers in his army. S.l., 7 October 1808. 1/3 p. in-4. " ... I have had 30,000 ducats made available to you by the Minister of the Interior for the Calabria road, and 4,000 ducats by the Minister of War for the 5 batteries which still need to be established to complete the system of defence of the coast from Naples to Reggio; thus there is no longer any obstacle to you sending off the senior engineer officer whom you intend to direct these two operations...". On General Campredon, see n° 134 above.
