NAPOLEON I. Letter signed ('Np') to Count Mollien, Paris, 9 June 1815, requesting him to find a position for Signor Pietra Santa, 'une place de Commis dans une administration de comptabilité', ½ page, 4°, annotation in a different hand in lower portion of leaf, 'M. Pietra Santa est placé dans les Bureaux de M. de St. Didier'.

The letter is signed three days before the Emperor's departure from Paris and only nine days before Waterloo. Signor Pietra Santa was Corsican, and related to Napoleon through his mother, Laetitia Bonaparte.

Count François Nicholas Mollien was appointed Minister of the Public Exchequer in 1806 and again during the Hundred Days.
