LS in French, signed “Np,” one page, 7.25 x 9, no date. Letter to his son, in part (translated): “I received your letter of August 28th—an Ottoman ship has arrived at Aucone—hold it—do not let it leave. Send me the interrogation and the ship’s papers—the information which will let me know if it has been insured and its certificate of origin…I will have them examined at the Council of Commerce. In Italy you do not have the means of judging these matters. We have them here through espionage in the Levant. I am still angry that you allowed the Ottoman to leave—some of them came from Malta.” In fine condition, with two small mounting remnants to reverse of top edge. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
