Dominique-Jean, Baron LARREY
« Année de malheur en effet combien de catastrophes ne sont-elles pas déjà arrivées. »Signed autograph letter addressed to his wife Marie-Élisabeth Laville-Leroux
Berlin 24 avril 1812|20.30 x 24.50 cm|3 pages sur un double feuillet
Autograph letter signed by Dominique-Jean Larrey, surgeon-in-chief of the Grande Armée, addressed to his wife Marie-Élisabeth Laville-Leroux. Three pages written in black ink in a fine hand, with erasures and corrections. Folds inherent to posting. Traces of a wax seal - probably that of the postal services of the Grande Armée - which appears to have been removed and whose hole has been repaired, causing the loss of a few letters but not impeding reading.
Fine and lengthy letter by Larrey, shortly before his departure for the Russian Campaign and only a few weeks after his appointment as surgeon-in-chief of the Grande Armée.
Provenance: from the Bibliotheca Lindesi
