121.1 [MANUSCRIPT] - BONAPARTE (Louis) – 1778–1846, brother of Napoleon I, King of Holland from 1806 to 1810, father of Napoleon III – Signed autograph letter addressed to Captain Briot – ‘Neuilly, 16 Prairial, Year X. I have once again taken steps on your behalf, citizen, with the First Consul. I had him read your petition, to which I attached my request for your reinstatement to the post you have lost. I sincerely hope that it will be restored to you; and whatever the outcome of this latest intervention, rest assured that I shall always take the same interest in your case. I have the honour to send you my regards. P.S.: Should it prove impossible to reinstate you on the Island of Elba, I shall insist that you be posted elsewhere. Your lack of activity has greatly [?] in the Consul’s estimation. You may always count on my friendship ’ – 1 page on 2 In-8° sheets – Clearly legible handwriting in brown ink – Very slight foxing and crease marks. Expert: Caroline Velk – 06 99 94 10 05
