Autograph letter by the French lieutenant Jean-Antoine Chapsal (1753-1834), addressed to Urion Laguesse, "sous-inspecteur des forets nationales", concerning the appointment of a forester to oversee his woods. He tells Laguesse that, since a forest ranger is required by law, he can appoint someone he thinks appropriate without consulting Chapsal.
Slightly creased, with a small hole, not affecting the text, and a small piece of paper torn off due to the seal, otherwise in good condition.
