It is still a good one; but, against my opinion, Savary has disseminated the division…You will find attached the orders which I have just dictated to General Bertrand for General Savary, where the army position is described considering all scenarios. Keep this copy. When you will learn that General Bessieres has defeated La Cuesta, your position will be better than ever.´ Napoleon further refers to the French armies and his Generals in several Spanish cities. And beneath his signature Napoleon, in his hand, adds a post-scriptum stating `Do not worry, you will not miss any thing. General Reille, my aide-de-camp, will send tomorrow 10.000 men to Figueres in Catalonia. Be cheerful, and most of all take care of yourself. Reach Madrid.´ One of Napoleon´s lengthier and most important letters to come to the autograph market, with exceptional content, showing how Napoleon was planning and considering meticulously any small eventuality, guiding his brother the King of Spain, step by step, instructing him how to act on each occasion, while still showing him his affection.
