Manuscript DS in French, signed "Np," one page, 8 x 12.5, April 21, 1815. An official letter to Napoleon from his Minister of War, Nicolas Louis Davout, asking him to approve a table or listing of the forces then under the command of General Chevalier Victor Marion de Gaja, with additional mention of troops under the command of the Duke de Angouleme. Napoleon has hastily penned his assent in the left margin, "Ap[prouvée], Np." In fine condition, with uniform overall toning. Signed documents from Napoleon’s 'Hundred Days,' which followed his brief return to power after escaping from his confinement on Elba and ended with his crushing defeat at Waterloo, are quite scarce.
