Napoléon Ier (1769-1821)
2 L.S. " Bonaparte ", Lille 19 and 20 messidor XI (July 8 and 9, 1803), to Consul CAMBACÉRÈS| the letters are written by Méneval| 2 pages and 1 page in-4, vignettes engraved with the name of Bonaparte

And he announces the arrival of a privateer from Boulogne who "made seven catches"... 20 messidor. About "the festival of July 14. I do not see any reason not to do as usual". He will leave for Ostend...
