Asks him to grant his brother Savinien Edme Fauvelet a place in the agency for providing fodder for the expedition to England (l’agence des fourrages de l’armée d’Angleterre).
(Undated. A similar request for a citizen Benoit(?) is appended in another hand. The requests have been authorised by an inscription apparently in Napoleon’s hand.)

The second paragraph of this note is in a different hand to the first. In the margin is written, in Bonaparte’s hand, something like ‘Recom’, i.e. recommandé. The word has been marked with an asterisk referring to the following footnote: ‘ceci est la signate ou le paraphe de Bonaparte.’ But see the note inserted in the back of the book.
{1} The end of this name is indistinct.
{2} The last two letters are written above the line and are indistinct. They may have been added slightly later.
