Marshal VAILLANT Signed Autograph Letter Minister of War Pélissier
Signed handwritten letter, Minister of War, Marshal Pélissier.
Signed handwritten letter by Jean-Baptiste Philibert VAILLANT, Marshal of France and Napoleon III’s Minister of War, dated August 10, [1856] (the year appears in parentheses on the letter).
Written on a folded sheet of vellum paper bearing the letterhead of the Office of the Minister of War.
Vaillant describes his particularly busy schedule. He mentions an early-morning appointment at the Château de Saint-Cloud (Emperor Napoleon III’s summer residence) and a visit to the Sorbonne with Marshal Pélissier, fresh from his victory in Crimea.
“If Monsieur [Chles] wishes to speak to me tomorrow morning, he will have to come before 6:30 a., as I must be at Saint-Cloud at 8 a.
I will return at 10:30 or 11 a. and will leave the Ministry of War no later than 11:30 a. to go to the Sorbonne with Marshal Pélissier and two officers.”
