L.S. "NP" to Monsieur le Baron de La Bouillerie, Dresden, July 1, 1813. 1 p. in-4. Paper with gilt edges.
Under the dictation of the Baron de Fain, Napoleon gives a glimpse of his anger: "I do not understand your letter of the 26th. I did not authorize you to advance 3 million to the guard, but only one million. I do not know who else but me has the right to give you orders; [...] You must not fall into such levity again. [...]".
Letter published in the correspondence of Napoleon for the year 1813, n°20212, p 523.
