Napoleon I

Letter Signed by Napoleon to General Bertrand on June 23,1809 two weeks before the battle of Wagram on July 5-6,1809. Napoleon orders Bertrand to build the bridges from Lobau Island in preparation for the upcoming battle. The letter also refers to Eugene and the capitulation at Raab. Napoleon instructs Bertrand " But make sure that all operations are conducted from above to worry the enemy from advancing and cutting us off on the side where we are planning the descent."
