See his entry in Encyclopaedia Britannica. Not to be confused with Fleury (1815-1884), whose handwriting is markedly different. 1p, 12mo. On grey paper. In good condition, lightly aged. Neatly folded twice. Reads: ?Le G?n?ral Fleury se rendra avec le plus grand plaisir a l?invitation que Madame la Bne: de Seebach lui a fait l?honneur de lui adresser. / Paris. 2 Mai 1856.? The recipient is presumably the mother of the Alsatian artist Baron Lothar von Seebach (1853-1930).
