Gallieni was also an administrator in the French Colonies, infamously abolishing the 350-year-old monarchy of the island of Madagascar. T.L.S., Gallieni, one page, 4to, Lyon, 24th December 1907, to [Jules Gaston Henri] Carde, on the printed stationery of the 14 Corps d'Armee, in French. Gallieni writes, in part, 'I knew in advance that you would not precisely be on a bed of roses in Martinique. I lived in this country and I know how many lively quarrels exist between parties, and notably, how the question of colour often makes them even larger and more venomous. But, Mr. Lepreux is a man of sang-froid and I am certain that, because of this characteristic, that is so indispensable in these functions, that he will know how to overcome all the difficulties in front of him'.
