Napoleon writes to his adopted son Prince Eugene Napoleon (1781-1824), Viceroy of Italy. He writes in full: "I am extremely displeased that you have given General Lauristan some orders contrary to those that I had given to him. I directed him to take possession of Dalmatia, to go there without delay. This kind of action is unbelievably foolish. Under no circumstances whatsoever are you to countermand any of my orders. You do not have the right." With a large signature and paraph of Napoleon.
Condition:
Fine condition.
