Monsieur Champagny mon ministre de l'intérieur, le Louvre faisant partie du domaine de la couronne, mon intention est de n'avoir qu'un seul architecte pour tous les travaux qui peuvent s'y faire, soit pour le service de la couronne, soit pour l'établissement de la bibliothèque. M. Fontaine, que j'ai nommé architecte du palais impérial des Thuileries et du Louvre, sera chargé de tous ces travaux. Sur ce je prie Dieu qu’il vous ait en sa sainte garde. Au Palais des Thuileries, le 8 Pluviose an 13.
Après la signature suit, d'une troisième main, l'indication : "Envoyé le 11 Pluviôse à la 3e Division".
