BUGEAUD de la PICONNERIE (Thomas-Robert) Marshal of France in 1843, Duc d'ISLY (Limoges 1784 - Paris 1849 carried off by cholera) - Letter signed Le Maréchal B. D'ISLY Commandant en Chef l'Armée des ALPES (Printed on letterhead) - LYON (Rhône) March 14, 1849. 2pp in-8° - Personal letter: "My dear Colonel, I have just had a long conference with Mr. Lieutenant RANDON; and I regret to say that he amply justifies the opinion you have formed of him. This officer, who is a socialist, a disciple of PROUD'HON, and a propagandist of ideas entirely contrary to the laws and constitution of the country, did not seem to me to understand what was irreconcilable between his active role as a social revolutionary and the fulfillment of his military duties, which at any moment could call upon him to fight those he calls his brothers... I have decided to ask the Minister of War to withdraw Lieutenant RANDON's employment or send him back to Africa...".
