Dominique-Jean, baron LARREY. P.S. with apostille a.s., countersigned by Coste, Heurteloup and Parmentier, Marseille 1er nivose X (22 décembre 1801): 1page in-fol. on his printed letterhead D.J. Larrey, Chirurgien en Chef, vignette, 2 red wax seals. Certificate for citizen Séraphin Lachôme, surgeon 2nd class in the Army of the East, who "has made the campaign of Upper Egypt. He particularly distinguished himself by his courage and devotion in the care he gave to the wounded and sick in the hospitals of Damiette, affected by the plague. On several occasions and in various examinations that I gave him, he gave me proof of his knowledge and talent, which led to his being employed as a first-class surgeon during the last two years of our stay in Egypt"... The Conseil de Santé des Armées then certifies that the signature is indeed that of Larrey.
