Handwritten letter signed to Raymond de Verninac-Saint-Maur, then prefect of the Rhône - 26 prairial year 8 - 1 page 1/4 in-4 with address on the back - Foxing, partially cut fold and frayed edges. Regarding the Alaï bridge and its robberies.

I received, citizen, your letter of the 27th floréal last, in which you inform me that the position of the Alaï bridge presents a dangerous depression that serves as a landmark for murderers who kill and rob travelers. You believe that the way to stop the robberies taking place there is to transfer the gendarmerie brigade stationed in Vaugneray to that point, from where it can be removed if necessary.



I approve of this transfer taking place and authorize the interim chief of the 12th gendarmerie division to carry it out as quickly as possible.
