Description from the seller

General Count Henri-Gatien Bertrand – Set of 5 signed autograph letters

1834–1835 – Address and postal stamps – Correspondence about his son Henri at the Application School of Metz.

Rare set of 5 signed autograph letters 'Bertrand', written by General Count Henri-Gatien Bertrand (1773-1844), Grand Marshal of the Palace of Napoleon I and faithful companion until Saint Helena.

Addressed to Colonel Bergère, deputy commander of the École d’application in Metz, these letters form a continuous correspondence focused on the conduct, studies, and military career of the general's son, Henri Bertrand.
In an intimate, concerned, and grateful tone: Bertrand thanks the colonel for his support, worries about his son's work, and discusses debts, progress, rankings, and the military future.

Each letter is complete with its handwritten address, dated postal stamps, postmarks, and vintage envelopes.

Homogeneous set, very rare on the Napoleonic market. Bertrand's tracked correspondence is almost impossible to find.

Condition: very good overall.
Dates: 1834–1835.
Name: 5 signed autograph letters.
