Manuscript DS in French, signed in the left margin, "Np," one page, 8.75 x 13.5, December 17, 1809. A report from General Antoine-Jean-Auguste Durosnel concerning military vacancies, in part (translated): "The service of the soldiers proposed for vacant positions in the 1st and 7th Provisional Regiments of Dragoons, the 1st Provision of Fighters and the 2nd Cavalry March of the Army of Spain, not being attached to the proposals file we can not check everyone's rights to the advancement we demand for them." In the upper left, Napoleon's secretary writes, "Returned to the Minister of War. I have already made known several times that I did not want any men or regiments of the Tour d'Auvergne, nor of Luxembourg, nor of the 2nd foreign regiment which had not served during all the revolution in an army to serve in the league," which is endorsed below by Napoleon. In fine condition.
