Elder brother of General Annet Morio de L'Isle [Chantelle (Allier) 1771 - 1811] - Letter written and signed "Morio" in his hand, 2 pages in-8, headed "Le Colonel du Génie, Morio", Hanover, 7 Frimaire An 12 (29 Nov. 1803): "I receive at the moment your letter of 23 brumaire. I will be glad to be godfather to your child, but I do not know if I will be able to go to Chantelle for the time. If it is a boy you can wait for me, if it is a girl you can have her baptized and replace me by someone who will hold the child for me. In the names that you will give to her, you must add the name of Malvina. You could give her three names, that of her godmother, who will probably be mother Blanc, mine - Joséphine, and that of Malvina which will be the third one. If it is a boy, then we will baptize him together. I will write to your husband next week. B? has not answered me about his son. He must have received the letters from the minister that I sent him. Give my love to your mother-in-law and husband, and to my father, his wife and my sisters. Farewell, my dear friend, believe that my attachment to you will never change.
