Bernadotte states in part `I am sending you the answer of 1st General Inspector of the artillery to the letter I wrote to him in favour of Captain Charue. You can read that he informs me that nobody will be promoted to the rank of battalion chief this year. I deeply regret that the circumstances prevent my recommendation letter from being as successful as hoped´ With blank integral leaf. Overall age wear, mostly to edges, and several tears to the edges.
