BUGEAUD (Thomas Robert). - Lot 95
BUGEAUD (Thomas Robert). Born in Limoges. 1784-1849. Marshal of France, Governor General of Algeria. L.A.S. "Bugeaud" to "Mon cher Mr de Bourcy". Exideuil, February 5, 1841. 1 p. in-4. Bugeaud recommends a certain Mr. Lucien Rey: ...You promised me to look after my protégés all the more as I would be absent. I'm already as good as in Africa, as I'll be leaving in a few days; but first I want to ask you for funding for Mr Lucien Rey, a footman in Auxerre. I think he's 5 or 6 years up the ladder. He belongs to one of the best families in Exideuil, whom I am anxious to oblige (...) I have just obtained a magnificent success in my election against all the oppons united and determined to overthrow the jailer of Blaye and the cutthroat of rue Transnonain. Bugeaud alludes to the time when he was governor of the Blaye citadel during the imprisonment of the Duchesse de Berry, and to the violent suppression of the riots of 1834.
