BOURMONT (Louis-Auguste-Victor de Ghaisnes, Comte de) Freign - Lot 342

BOURMONT (Louis-Auguste-Victor de Ghaisnes, Comte de) Freigné 1773 - 1846 - General 1813, Minister of War 1829, Marshal of France on July 14, 1830 - Letter signed Le Comte BOURMONT as Lieutenant-General, Commandant of the 2nd Infantry Div. of the GARDE ROYALE (His letterhead imp., vignette) - Paris April 12, 1820 - to Maréchal Duc de BELLUNE (VICTOR) - He requests a forage allowance for the Adjudants-Majors. "Your Excellency will perhaps appreciate how useful it is for MM. Les Adjudants Majors to have a horse, especially for the rather long errands they have to make in Paris... perhaps also that the moment would seem all the more favorable to present this claim, as it appears that it has already been made by M. le Marquis de LAURISTON, for the 1st Infantry Division."
