NORD. DEVINCK-THIERY (François-Régis-Benjamin; Dunkerque 1762 - 1803) Représentant du Peuple, Membre du Corps Législatif (Header, vignette) - Private letter signed to citoyen EMMERY Maire de DUNKERQUE, his relative - PARIS 24 Nivôse an 11 (1803) 3pp in-4°: "Mon Cher Parent. I can assure you that the First Consul will visit the Département du NORD as soon as the transfer of the Corps Législatif is completed... The Députation du NORD having been able to ask BUONAPARTE a few questions about his trip to Belgium, he kindly assured us that his intention was to go to DOUAI (Douay) to visit the Arsenal and other Artillery Establishments. He did not explain the rest of his project. However, I believe that having visited the coast from LE HAVRE to DIEPPE, he will continue his visit from DIEPPE to ANTWERP...".
