Book Description

Excerpt from The Confidential Correspondence of Napoleon Bonaparte With His Brother Joseph, Sometime King of Spain, Vol. 2 of 2: Selected and Translated, With Explanatory Notes, From the Memoires Du Roi Joseph MY Brother, - General La Romana has less than 1000 men pressed into the service, naked, and dying of hunger; he no longer dares trust his army in the field, exasperated as it is against him. Marshal Soult attacked him on the 26th with 2 cavalry regiments, and took 1500 men and 2 standards. He entered Leon on the 30th, and found 2000 sick in the hospitals. The army of Gallicia cannot be said to have really existed after the affair of Espinosa, and now less than ever.
