    In April of 1814 Marshal Augereau fled from his post the Army of Lyons to Valance. He learned of Napoleon's abdication and denounced him in favor of Louis XVIII. However learning of Napoleon's return switched again in favor of the emperor. Napoleon ignored Augereau and on April 10, 1815 was struck from the list of marshals.

    Monsieur the Duke, the advantageous instructions which have been given me regarding the services of Monsieur le Petit de Courville, Adjutant Commandant, retired, at Caen, bind me to beg Your Excellency to grant him the decoration of the Royal and Military Order of St. Louis. I include with the present letter the circumstances of the services of this superior officer with a copy of a letter addressed to him by Monsieur the Lieutenant General Commandant of the 14th Military Division.

    I want to thank Jerome(Djedj) and Jacaranda for helping with the translation. I have a few others that I need help with and they can be found in the PERSONAL RESEARCH FACILITY under French Translatin.

    thanks,

    Monsieur the Duc

    In compliance with the provisions contained in the letter your Excellency made me the honour of writing me about the named Jacques Francois Dehoux, who has come back, after a short absence, to the Regiment Chasseurs a Chevel of the Garde Imperiale. I have given orders to the Capitaine of Gendarmerie de la Dyle, to have the proceedings that could be instituted against him stopped.

    I have the honour of offering your Excellency the expression of my high regard.

    The First General Inspector

    The Marshal Duc de Conegliano
