José Manuel de Brunet Sn. Sebastian","[[label: Letter Text - Page 1]] R. 17 dho Sr Dn José Manuel de Brunet Sn Sebastn Bilbao 14 de Agosto de 1847. Estimado amigo: Llegué de mi salida á Valmaseda y Carranza, y contesto á su apreciada del 7. Ayer tarde y al siguiente que llegué, me dijo Epalza que queria hablarme un momento, y me indicó era sobre una carta que tenia de V. y le dije que podia hacerlo cuando gustase; pero aun nada me ha dicho nada; y no he creido deberle recordar porque no sea que ni él ni yo estamos en el caso desesperado. Otros industriales se hallan por aqui, y no en otras partes como nosotros, y los de Sta Ana se hallaron en iguales compro- misos el año anterior, pero por fortuna se abrieron las ventas que siguen haciendo y no pueden llenar faltas de conductores. Veré si Dn Tomas habla y si algo se hace. El Dn Arellano es lo mismo que Epalza, y cuando yo hablé con él me significó que daria 1/2 p% de interes por su firma, y habiendome propuesto á que de una vez que me daba apuntes magnificos que daria 1 p% y luego veo que Epalza que habló con él á consecuencia de la carta de V. ha fijado 1 p%. El banco les ha prestado dinero tam- bien, y digo todo esto con reserva pues del mismo modo se me ha dicho. No hay dinero y la industria en general se verá mal, en particular aquella cuyas ventas se entorpezcan, y no hay ningun remedio ni mas recurso que fabricar en proporcion de las salidas que puedan tenerse, pues todo lo demas es para mi [perdido?] y mal cálculo. Del 25 al 27 saldré para Madrid si no hago faltas y siento no poder salir antes. Ya que VV. se ocupaban de preparar las instrucciones fuera bien que saliese el Viajante, que debe estudiar el caracter de las gentes con quien trate, pues á unos les agradará un caracter y lenguage, y á otros no. A unos alegria y trato cierto punto de ligereza, á otros cierta formalidad. A las mugeres frivolidades y cosas propias de ellas; y en ocasiones pueden ser las que influyan. Nada puede hacerse productivo, y creo que mucho de esto debe dejarse de de- cir á ese Joven que hace la 1ª salida al mundo industrial. Me dice V. que nada tienen","[[label: Letter Text - Page 2]] que decir á los cálculos de Roestel, y yo por el contrario creo deben VV. examinarlos para ver si estamos conformes. La cuenta del coste de nuestro papel, segun las mias fundadas en los preceptos de aq[ue]l despues de cargar todo hasta los intereses del capital de movi- miento á 10 p % y los de acciones y dividendo que son 20 p % permite vender caso necesario nuestro papel á saber. 1ª y 2ª calidad ó pasta cargando sobre ella 33 1/3 p % en lugar de 10 p % y 20 p % á 5 rs. libra 3ª con cargo de 10 y 20 p % á 3 rs. 13 1/2 mrs. 4ª con igual cargo ................... \" 2 rs. 23 mrs. 5ª id id ................................ \" 2 rs. 21 mrs. todo esto en trapos del pais y de Hamburgo mezclados por mitad, y que no debe haber ni mezclarse tanto Hamb[urg]o y saldrá mas barato. El de Galicia sale con igual cargo de 30 p % á 3 rs. 19 mrs. la libra en comun, de modo que el Galicia con 1/3 y 2/3 de las Provincias y Hamburgo puede darse caso necesario á 2 rs. 20 [mrs?] papel de imprenta, y rollos ya con la carga de 30 p %, esto es lo que yo quiero que VV. examinen, para que sepamos lo que aun ignoramos, que es el coste de nuestro papel para poder vender y saber hasta donde puede irse en la competencia. Veo que me remitirá V. de Madrid el Estado. Para otro año ya que por desgracia no lo hemos hecho nunca, los estados deben comprender las diferentes calida- des del papel que existan y las calidades diferentes de pasta y trapo, y tambien que todo se pese para que sir- va de confrontacion y si por nota pueden VV. ponerlo este año en lo relativo á calidades mejor, y tambien las diferencias halladas en pasta y trapo. Han podido VV. notar que los Rs. 48,000, de depreciacion han sido mal cargados en el estado y este en realidad quedara reducido á 40,000 y pico de diferencia en lugar de lo que representa. Ruego á V. no se descuide la preparacion del consabido papel y que esté en Madrid pronto para ver que puede hacerse. Sin mas terreno que el que tenemos podemos sacar 40, ó 50 resmas diarias segun los calculos tirados por Pourvel y esta fabricacion se hace indispensable. Todos establecen fabricacion á mano si bien con cilindro. Nuestro sistema puede ser","[[label: Letter Text - Page 3]] mejor y mas economico que aquel: hay que seguir lo y buscar el medio de poner los [illegible] anejos á otra cosa. La reserva es de absoluta necesidad, y que la orden dada se cumpla, y asi se le previno y al mismo Pourvel le dije que aun estando los jueves en casa alguno que no permitiese entrar á la mecanica en el momento hacia nuestro. Estaba aqui con varios que consumen nuestro papel, y se hace fraude. Delma me enseñó los pedidos de papel comun que pidio á Zaragoza remiti muestra á Cardenal para que remi- tiese el de VV es á 26 rs en Zaragoza, mucho mejor que el nuestro á igual precio y aun que el de 32 y 34. Que habia pedido muchas veces papeles comunes y que no los habian VV remitido. Tambien de imprenta habia pedido á Zaragoza, porque me enseño uno hecho por nosotros para una publicacion, de buena pasta si pero con arenilla que destruye la im- presion esta es fabricacion del bribon que con tanta facilidad nos engañó.

Sebastian","[[label: Letter Text - Page 1]] R. 17 of the same [month] Mr. Dn. José Manuel de Brunet Sn. Sebastn. Bilbao, August 14, 1847. Esteemed friend: I arrived from my trip to Valmaseda and Carranza, and I reply to your esteemed [letter] of the 7th. Yesterday afternoon and the day following my arrival, Epalza told me he wanted to speak with me for a moment, and indicated it was about a letter he had from you, and I told him he could do so whenever he pleased; but he has still told me nothing at all; and I have not thought it my duty to remind him so it does not appear that either he or I are in a desperate situation. Other industrialists find themselves around here, and not in other parts like us, and those of Sta. Ana found themselves in equal commitments the previous year, but fortunately the sales opened up, which they continue making, and they cannot fill the lack of drivers [transporters]. I will see if Dn. Tomas speaks and if something is done. Dn. Arellano is the same as Epalza, and when I spoke with him he indicated to me that he would give 1/2 p% [percent] interest for his signature, and having proposed to me that at once he was giving me magnificent notes [promissory notes] he would give 1 p% and then I see that Epalza, who spoke with him as a consequence of your letter, has fixed 1 p%. The bank has lent them money too, and I say all this with reserve since it was told to me in the same manner. There is no money and industry in general will find itself in a bad way, in particular that whose sales are hindered, and there is no remedy nor more recourse than to manufacture in proportion to the sales that can be had, since all the rest is for me [lost?] and a bad calculation. From the 25th to the 27th I will leave for Madrid if I do not fail [if nothing prevents me] and I am sorry not to be able to leave sooner. Since you [plural] were occupied with preparing the instructions, it would be good if the Traveling Salesman set out, who must study the character of the people with whom he deals, since to some one character and language will be pleasing, and to others not. To some cheerfulness and dealing with a certain degree of lightness, to others a certain formality. To women frivolities and things proper to them; and on occasions they can be the ones who influence. Nothing can be made productive, and I believe that much of this should be left unsaid to that Young man who is making his 1st outing into the industrial world. You tell me that you have nothing","[[label: Letter Text - Page 2]] to say to Roestel's calculations, and I on the contrary believe you [plural] should examine them to see if we are in agreement. The account of the cost of our paper, according to mine founded on the precepts of that one [Roestel] after charging everything up to the interests of the working capital at 10 p% and those of shares and dividend which are 20 p% permits selling in case of necessity our paper namely: 1st and 2nd quality or pulp charging upon it 33 1/3 p% instead of 10 p% and 20 p% at 5 rs. [reales] a pound 3rd with a charge of 10 and 20 p% at 3 rs. 13 1/2 mrs. [maravedíes] 4th with equal charge ................... \" 2 rs. 23 mrs. 5th id id [idem idem] ................................ \" 2 rs. 21 mrs. all this in domestic rags and of Hamburg mixed by half, and that there should not be nor be mixed so much Hamb[urg] and it will come out cheaper. That of Galicia comes out with an equal charge of 30 p% at 3 rs. 19 mrs. the pound in common, so that the Galicia with 1/3 and 2/3 of the Provinces and Hamburg can be given in case of necessity at 2 rs. 20 [mrs?] printing paper, and rolls already with the charge of 30 p%, this is what I want you [plural] to examine, so that we know what we still ignore, which is the cost of our paper to be able to sell and know how far one can go in the competition. I see that you will remit to me from Madrid the Statement. For another year since unfortunately we have never done it, the statements must comprise the different qualities of paper that exist and the different qualities of pulp and rag, and also that everything be weighed so that it serves for comparison and if by note you [plural] can put it this year regarding qualities better, and also the differences found in pulp and rag. You [plural] have been able to note that the Rs. 48,000 of depreciation have been badly charged in the statement and this in reality will remain reduced to 40,000 and a bit of difference instead of what it represents. I beg you not to neglect the preparation of the aforementioned paper and that it be in Madrid soon to see what can be done. Without more land than what we have we can get out 40, or 50 reams daily according to the calculations drawn by Pourvel and this manufacturing becomes indispensable. Everyone establishes manufacturing by hand although with a cylinder. Our system can be","[[label: Letter Text - Page 3]] better and more economical than that: it must be followed and the means sought to put the [illegible] annexes to something else. Secrecy is of absolute necessity, and that the order given be fulfilled, and thus he was warned and to Pourvel himself I said that even if someone was in the house on Thursdays he should not permit entry to the machinery at the moment he was making ours. I was here with several who consume our paper, and fraud is being committed. Delma showed me the orders for common paper that he requested to Zaragoza I remitted a sample to Cardenal so that he would remit yours is at 26 rs in Zaragoza, much better than ours at equal price and even than that of 32 and 34. That he had requested common papers many times and that you [plural] had not remitted them. Also of printing [paper] he had requested to Zaragoza, because he showed me one made by us for a publication, of good pulp yes but with grit that destroys the printing this is the manufacturing of the scoundrel who with such ease deceived us. I am being too long. From your always affectionate friend.

CANTON Le Juge de Paix du Canton de la Jarrie, de La Jarrie. A Monsieur Je m'empresse, mon cher Henri, de vous donner des détails de ce qui est arrivé à la Rochelle et aux environs, parceque les évènemens passant de bouche en bouche, prennent une gravité plus grande qu'ils n'en ont réellement : cependant ils ne sont pas sans conséquences & sans faire naître des motifs d'inquiétude pour l'avenir; le prétexte a été la cherté des grains. Le premier de ce mois un fort rassemblement s'est fait à la mairie de la Rochelle, il demandait la diminution du pain et que l'on empêchât l'embarquement de grain qui se succédait depuis long-tems; le nombre des personnes rassemblées est devenu tellement fort et menaçant qu'il a envahi l'Hôtel de ville et que l'on a été obligé de faire marcher deux compagnies de la ligne pour les chasser. le Préfet est absent et remplacé par Desnobles conseiller de préfecture, le maire Pasteau qui est député, est aussi absent et est remplacé par le premier adjoint, Mr Goud, architecte, homme bon, mais faible et n'étant point susceptible d'embrasser les conséquences du moment, pour prendre des mesures en c'e circonstance. Le rassemblement chassé de la mairie, parlementa et reprocha à l'adjoint de s'être servi de la ligne, que si elle était employée il en résulterait des conséquences graves, il y aurait du sang de répandu, qu'ils demandaient qu'est on ne fît plus sortir de bled, qu'il y avait des accapareurs qui voulaient affamer le peuple et que le bled était envoyé chez nos ennemis les anglais. Marginal note: Je m'apperçois qu'il manque à la suite de cette narration des faits, de vous dire que le mardi premier l'adjoint ayant promis la non sortie des grains, la troupe et la foule s'étaient retirées et ce n'est que le jeudi que tout a recommencé.","[[label: Letter Text - Page 2]] l'adjoint promit que l'on ne se serviroit que de la garde nationale que l'embarquement des grains seroit empêché; ces concessions, imprudentes, parcequ'elles étoient menaçantes, loin de calmer l'irritation du peuple, & le nombre, [crossed out: ne] fit l'effet contraire, et le lendemain la masse étoit plus compacte et il paroît même que les émeutiers avoient profité de la suspension des mesures de l'autorité pour faire un appel aux communes voisines, et en effet le deux à dix heures se passa à Dompierre, me rendant à La Rochelle; il y avoit un rassemblement de plus de 300 personnes qui avoit arrêté dès le matin toutes les charettes chargées de bled et de farines destinées pour la Rochelle, on mit des factionnaires pour garder les charettes, il n'y eut aucun vol aucun dégat, ce rassemblement à Dompierre s'étoit fait en battant la générale en sonnant le tocsin contre la volonté de l'autorité locale. Aussitôt que je fus passé la multitude réunie à Dompierre se dirigea sur la Rochelle, l'autorité de cette ville en eut l'avis, on voulut fermer la porte Royale, mais le rassemblement de Dompierre arrivant d'un côté et celui de la Rochelle de l'autre forcèrent la garde et cette masse devint menaçante à la mairie, pas un garde national n'étoit sur pied, pas un gendarme, pas une compagnie de la ligne, cependant le commandant de place faisoit renforcer les postes, le général a diverses reprises avoit offert au maire de mettre à sa disposition 1100 hommes de troupes, toutes prêtes (elles étoient consignées) l'adjoint dit qu'il ne vouloit pas faire répandre de sang. Les émeutiers alors eurent une grande idée de leur force et commencèrent de 12 à midi environ à se porter sur les maisons qui passoient pour accapareurs, chez le S.

CANTON of La Jarrie. The Justice of the Peace of the Canton of La Jarrie, To Monsieur I hasten, my dear Henri, to give you details of what has happened in La Rochelle and the surrounding area, because events passing from mouth to mouth take on a greater gravity than they really have: however, they are not without consequences & without giving rise to motives for anxiety for the future; the pretext was the high price of grain. On the first of this month a large gathering formed at the town hall of La Rochelle, it demanded the reduction of bread and that the loading of grain, which had been happening successively for a long time, be prevented; the number of people gathered became so large and threatening that it invaded the City Hall and that they were obliged to march two companies of the line to chase them away. The Prefect is absent and replaced by Desnobles, prefecture councillor, the mayor Pasteau who is a deputy, is also absent and is replaced by the first deputy, Mr Goud, architect, a good man, but weak and not at all capable of grasping the consequences of the moment, to take measures in this circumstance. The gathering, chased from the town hall, parleyed and reproached the deputy for having used the line, that if it were used grave consequences would result, there would be blood spilled, that they demanded that no more wheat be allowed to leave, that there were hoarders who wanted to starve the people and that the wheat was sent to our enemies the English. In the margin: I realise that I have omitted, following this narration of facts, to tell you that on Tuesday the first, the deputy having promised the non-departure of the grain, the troops and the crowd had withdrawn and it was only on Thursday that everything started again.","[[label: Letter Text - Page 2]] The deputy promised that only the national guard would be used, that the loading of grain would be prevented; these concessions, imprudent, because they were threatening, far from calming the irritation of the people, & the number, had the opposite effect, and the next day the mass was more compact and it even seems that the rioters had taken advantage of the suspension of the authorities' measures to make an appeal to the neighbouring communes, and indeed on the second at ten o'clock it happened in Dompierre, as I was going to La Rochelle; there was a gathering of more than 300 people who had stopped since the morning all the carts loaded with wheat and flour destined for La Rochelle, they posted sentries to guard the carts, there was no theft no damage, this gathering in Dompierre had been formed by beating the general alarm and ringing the tocsin against the will of the local authority. As soon as I had passed, the multitude gathered in Dompierre headed for La Rochelle, the authority of this town was notified of it, they wanted to close the Royal gate, but the gathering from Dompierre arriving from one side and that of La Rochelle from the other forced the guard and this mass became threatening at the town hall, not a national guard was on foot, not a gendarme, not a company of the line, however the town commandant was having the posts reinforced, the general on various occasions had offered the mayor to put at his disposition 1,100 troops, all ready (they were confined to barracks) the deputy said he did not want to cause blood to be spilled. The rioters then had a great idea of their strength and began from 12 to around noon to go to the houses that passed for hoarders, at the house of Sieur Dutertre (by a man named Cormereau, with sticks (after having broken down the doors) they broke vials (he is a pharmacist) which caught fire instantly, they tore up his books, they cried fire, the fire engines arrived and there were no further consequences. They beat the general alarm. They went to the house of a man named L'évêque, they tore up all his books, broke and smashed several things. In the margin: They sent for infantry troops from St Jean d'Angély and Rochefort, and for cuirassiers from Niort. I was assured that they had posted that starting today bread would go down.","[[label: Letter Text - Page 3]] From there to the house of a man named Fragneau, flour merchant near the big clock, they broke various things and tore up his books, it is also said that they went to Coniée's and Martin's. Some national guards having gathered, they were advised that the rioters were to go to the house of the deputy, Goud, east of the arsenal; fifteen national guards went there, hardly had they arrived when the rioters arrived, they trampled underfoot, so to speak, the national guards and broke down the doors, smashed the shutters, entered the house, tore the beds to pieces, smashed the armchairs, chairs, sofas, the mirrors, wardrobes and everything that fell into their hands, threw the linens and precious objects out the window, in short emptied in an instant one of the best furnished houses in the town, the loss is estimated at 40,000 f. They came to tell the deputy of his disaster and finally, crying it is said, he decided, at the instigation of a prefecture councillor, to sign a requisition for the general and the gendarmerie. The rioters having gone to the mayor's door and had begun to break down the doors when the line, gendarmerie and a portion of the national guard arrived, in an instant they were dispersed, General D'hautpoul said, it is reported, now I am in order (no more concessions), everything must be dispersed. Indeed in an instant they were pushed back in all directions, three volleys in the air were fired after the summons, it is said and it seems probable that a w[oman was] killed at her casement window on the second floor and a young man got a bullet in the side. The gates were closed, patrols circulated the rest of the day on Wednesday and the following night, it is said that 40 were arrested, that jewellery belonging to Madame Goud was found on some of them. It was claimed that on Thursday the rioters were heading in the number of 1,500 to Braud and towards Marans, it is also said that cavalry was being brought from Niort and Fontenay. That is all I can tell you. There has been no question of the slightest movement in my canton. Receive for you and your dear wife, my friend, the assurance of the sincere friendship of all my family Guigne [[notes]] Supplied reading: an ink blot obscures the middle of f[emme a été]; the sentence and visible letters make the supplied reading contextually secure.

Madame, I would have replied sooner to the letters you did me the honour of writing to me, had I not been prevented by a cruel event that befell me, following which I suffered an illness that kept me in bed for several days. I had the misfortune of losing one of my children to whom I was deeply attached; the child died of a stomach illness after experiencing terrible convulsions. This event has greatly affected me and singularly altered my health. I fully intended to have the advantage of writing to you several days ago, but I was waiting to do so until the Receiver of Registration had appended his opinion to the documents of the Couture heirs, which had been sent to him a long time ago by Mr le Tourneur, his Director. Despite the entreaties I made and had made, I was unable to get him to give his opinion until yesterday. He showed it to me, and it is to the advantage of the Couture heirs. He attached it to the documents, which he made into a parcel addressed to Mr le Tourneur. He handed this parcel to me, which I had put in the post today; it will reach Mr le Tourneur tomorrow. [[notes]] Terms: Receveur de l'Enregistrement is translated as Receiver of Registration, and Conseil de Préfecture as Prefecture Council. Maladie au ventre is translated literally as stomach illness because it is a broad historical medical description.","[[label: Letter Text - Page 2]] You may therefore, Madame, see Mr le Tourneur upon receipt of this letter and urge him to forward all the documents immediately to the Prefecture Council. It is highly probable that, based on the opinion of the Receiver of Registration, a prompt decision will be obtained in favour of the Couture heirs. I beg you, Madame, to continue your efforts to bring an end to this cursed affair. I received the letter from Mme de Cabre, your friend, which you had the kindness to pass on to me. I wrote to her to assure her that I will gladly take charge of her affair. She did me the honour of replying that she would send me papers shortly. It is enough that this Lady is an acquaintance of yours and that you take an interest in her, for me to apply the greatest care and the greatest zeal in following her affair. Mr de Frondeville has not yet replied to me regarding the affair of Mme des Pommarez; I am going to write to him again.

Later I had the satisfaction of seeing that you found equitable those which I had imposed upon myself, and the letter of the 22nd of this month which you did me the honor of writing to me informs me that the Minister of the Interior himself shares your opinion in this regard. I must therefore regret, Monsieur le Préfet, that the legal tutelage of the superior authority believed it had to abandon to the municipal council of Port-Sainte-Marie the misguided discretion over its interests in this matter; for, confident in the justice of my offers, I am no more disposed to adhere to the new demand of five hundred francs than I was when it was a question of a thousand francs. I therefore have the honor of informing you, Monsieur, that if between now and the first of April next, the municipal council of Port-Sainte-Marie, better advised, does not accept the offer I have made and which I reiterate here, to grant me the requested concession in exchange for one hundred francs for the commune and two hundred francs for the poor, I absolutely renounce the satisfaction of raising, upon his tomb, a modest and respectful memorial to Mr de Laboyrie. I shall then content myself with taking advantage of the","[[label: Letter Text - Page 2]] faculty left to me by the Decree on cemeteries by having a tombstone placed there which may remain for ten years. It is with sorrow that I see the administration of Port-Sainte-Marie reject a resource, small it is true, with which it could have provided for the obligatory expense of repairing the enclosure of the cemetery of its succursale of Mazières, the dilapidated state of which demands works that would preserve the ashes of the dead from the profanations to which they are incessantly exposed. I have the honor to be, Monsieur le Préfet, your very humble and very obedient servant, Bordeaux, 28 February 1837 Le Blanc de Mauvesin [[notes]] Terms: Succursale denotes a subsidiary parish church or chapel of ease.

Page 1]] Limoges, this 1st of December 1829 My dear Félicité, if I have not written to you sooner, it is not at all an oversight on my part, but because I did not know where you were, whether you were in Étagnac or in Chéronnac. I arrived in Limoges on the 17th of September; I slept in Saint-Junien. I will tell you that at Monsieur Palaud's they showed me much friendship and almost all came to the carriage and recommended me to the driver as if I had been their daughter. Madame Palaud brought me a large piece of sugar when I was in the carriage; she told me that it made the thirst go away. I accepted it gladly. Then she gave me the address of Annette, who is married to Monsieur Duriveau, a very handsome young man. He came to see me because his father-in-law had told him I was here, and he sends word to me every time he comes; he always says to me: \"Cousin, do you want me to break the grilles? I will get you out.\"","[[label: Letter Text - Page 2]] My dear friend, I will tell you that I have been very lucky to have the place I have. I find myself in a convent where there are many religious from our parts whom I do not know, but we speak of people we know, and I am very glad to be able to speak of people I know, for I would have been far too bored if I had not been able to speak of people. There is Sister Delfine, who is a Mademoiselle Bernard from Saint-Junien, who is a very good girl; she speaks to me of Étagnac and tells me she was there very often in the time of her uncle, the former parish priest. In short, my dear, they are all amiable; they are thirty-six in number, two novices and three postulants. Madame the Superior happens to be the niece of Madame Mousnier Suisson; she is charming, she is very gentle, amiable, obliging; in short, she has all the requisite qualities. She shows me much friendship; I love her as much as one can love the most respectable person. She always says to me: \"I very much desire to keep you with us,\" and I show her all my desire to stay with her. She is of rare beauty; she is only thirty years old. I would very much like to stay here, but Sister Vouvé has written to me twice, and she very much desired that I go with her. One is always better off with a cousin than with strangers, all the more so since one goes out in her order, whereas here one never goes out again once one has pronounced one's vows. Annette Palaud comes to see me every Sunday. She would very much like to let me go out, but it is hardly possible; they do not entrust me to just anyone. I went out with her once.","[[label: Letter Text - Page 3]] I am treated here like a religious; I see almost no one except to go see Madame Debrette, who is very amiable. She takes a great interest in me; she very much desires that I become a religious too. I find that this thought is very praiseworthy, for, my good friend, what can I do in the world? Would I not be a hundred times better off embracing this state, which is highly honourable and where one is much better seen by God? I will tell you that I was very surprised when the portress came to tell me that Monsieur Leclere was asking for me at the parlour. I was very glad to see him through the grille, for they would not open the door for me to embrace my cousin. So you see, my dear, that I run no risk of going running the streets, and I am not sorry about it, for I have no desire to leave here. All that vexes me is that one must get up at five o'clock in the morning, winter and summer; but Madame the Superior sends a lay sister to my room every morning, who brings me a light. Then one must confess very often. I have for a director one of the bishop's canons who is quite young; he is very strict. He made me make a general confession; I assure you he really infuriated me. I was not instructed enough in my religion; I must study all sorts of books of piety every day. Farewell, I embrace you. Christine My address is Christine at the convent of the Visitation of Sainte-Marie near Pont Saint-Étienne in Limoges. I will tell you that since I have been here, my relatives come to see me more often than they did in Étagnac, for I assure you that I am very surprised [...]","[[label: Address-side Continuation]] Sister Vouvé gave me my brother's address.

Vos lettres en datte des 1er Mars, 26 avril, 15 mai, 24 mai et autres, me sont toutes parvenues. Vous aurez été surpris de ne pas recevoir de réponse de ma part. Mais vous ayant fait connoître moi- -même ma position pendant que j'étois à mes vendanges, cette espece de production ayant totalement manqué aussi bien que mes prairies, et la peine qu'on a à être payée des fermiers, vous seroit facile- -ment juger que je puis être à court d'argent. ainsi, n'ayant pu et ne pouvant vous en donner, ou du moins, ce ne seroit qu'un très foible acompte relativement à votre mémoire, j'ai autant aimé garder le silence que de vous donner des réponses qui ne vous eussent point satisfaites. En vous accordant ma confiance dans cette instance, je m'imaginai que vous eussiez pris pour regle l'art. 823 du code Napoléon, qui dit qu'en matiere de partage tout doit être traitté sommairement; d'après cet art. vous n'avez pu sans y contrevenir fournir des écritures aux quelles mes co-partageantes seroient fondées à refuser de concourir au payement et cependant tous les frais de partage doivent être repartis entre les successibles en raison du droit d'un chacun. Il suit de l'art. 823 que les requêtes, et incidens qu'il vous a plût de fournir en mon nom, sont des frais frustratoires. Il est sans exemple, que dans une instance de partage et avant la consommation, avant l'expertise, avant le reglement des comptes, les frais d'une seule partie s'élevent à près de cinq cens francs. Deux procédés m'ont été sur tout extremement sensibles 1° l'im- -putation que vous avez faite, d'une partie de la somme de 150 tt que je vous ai compté, sur un objet étranger à ma cause, j'entends parler des dépens que vous reclamez pour les frais faits dans le procès de ma mere. Vous deviez vous rappeller, Monsieur, que quand vous m'en parlates, je vous témoignai que je n'en ferais pas de pres- -cription, mais je ne vous autorisai point à faire cette imputation. Il étoit naturel que je visse terminer un procès ruineux. Si vous ne m'eussiez pas traitté avec le peu de considération que vous faites, je n'aurois pas été difficile sur cet examen.","[[label: Letter Text - Page 2]] 2° Peut il y avoir rien de plus outrageant pour moi, que vous me mandiez que vous refuserez aux experts les titres dont ils pourront avoir besoin. On ne peut qu'en déduire que vous vous etes imaginé que je prendrais le prétexte pour les enlever de vos possessions. de tels procédés me sont inconnus. Ne suis-je pas bien autorisée à penser maintenant, que la lettre confidentielle que vous avez remis au président n'a été laissée parmi mes pièces à produire, qu'afin de l'indisposer contre moi, mais cependant s'il règle votre mémoire, j'espère assez de sa justice pour qu'il le réduise à sa juste valeur. Vous me direz sans doute relativement aux écrits, que vous avez produits, que je vous mandais dans mes lettres de prendre tout l'interet possible à cette affaire, certes je vous en ai prié instamment et je crois que c'est une formule de stile bien inutile envers une personne qui exerce un état qui demande tant de délicatesse, de confiance et surtout de soins. Il est un autre art. auquel je ne puis rien dire, puisque le tarif vous l'accorde, c'est celui de la correspondance. Vous conviendrez qu'il est un peu exorbitant, ainsi il est de toute équité, que si vous profitez des avantages que la loi vous accorde, j'en fasse autant de mon coté, il ne serait pas juste que vous jouissiez de tous les avantages, sans que je puisse en faire autant du mien. Ainsi, dans l'art. de la correspondance, je crois que vous serez suffisamment payé des requêtes, de l'incident, du bureau de paix, et des droits de consultations. Vous me direz peut être que je vous promis de vous payer votre présence au bureau de paix, je m'en rappelle fort bien, mais comme tout ce que la loi vous accorde est augmenté dans votre mémoire, je crois que vous ne pourrez m'accuser d'injustice. Je tiens toujours à ma parole quand on ne m'oblige pas à y manquer. Sans doute, Monsieur, cette lettre ne vous sera pas agréable, mais j'ai été bien patiente. J'ai consulté votre mémoire et on le réduit beaucoup. Je suis bien faché, Monsieur, d'en etre venu à une pareille extrémité. Vous me dites dans une de vos lettres, qu'il parait que mon dessein est de laisser là le partage, je vous demande si dans ma position vous vous ralentireriez, c'est une vaine excuse que vous apporté pour pallier la démarche que vous avez faite de vous démettre volon= tairement de mon affaire. A peine le partage en est-il à la moitié, et vous voudriez faire entendre que je vous ai remercié. Je crois que les biens qui sont sous vos yeux, dans votre ville, et aux environs, dont il m'en reviendra un tiers étaient bien capables de vous rassurer sur ce que je vous devais. De bons jurisconsultes à qui j'ai fait part de vos lettres et de vos mémoires, n'ont jamais pu s'imaginer qu'un tel procédé fut d'un avoué.","[[label: Closing and Signature]] J'ai l'honneur de vous Saluer Flavie Duval"],"translation_segments":["[[label: Address Panel]] To Monsieur Nogues Jeune Avoué, Grand Rue Redon","[[label: Letter Text - Page 1]] Rennes, 28 May 1810 Sir, Your letters dated 1 March, 26 April, 15 May, 24 May and others, have all reached me. You will have been surprised not to receive a reply from me. But having made my situation known to you myself while I was at my grape harvest, this type of production having completely failed as well as the yield from my meadows, and the difficulty one has in getting paid by the tenant farmers, it would be easy for you to judge that I might be short of money. Thus, having been unable and being unable to give you any, or at least, it would only be a very weak instalment relative to your bill, I preferred to keep silent rather than give you answers that would not have satisfied you at all. In granting you my trust in this proceeding, I imagined that you would have taken as a rule Article 823 of the Code Napoléon, which states that in matters of partition everything must be treated summarily; according to this article, you could not, without contravening it, provide written pleadings for which my co-heirs would be justified in refusing to contribute to the payment, and yet all partition costs must be distributed among the heirs in proportion to each one's right. It follows from Article 823 that the petitions and incidents that it pleased you to provide in my name are unnecessary costs. It is unprecedented that in a partition proceeding and before the consummation, before the expert appraisal, before the settlement of accounts, the costs of a single party rise to nearly five hundred francs. Two actions have been especially extremely painful to me: 1st, the imputation you made of a part of the sum of 150 livres tournois that I paid you, to an object foreign to my case; I mean the expenses you claim for the costs incurred in my mother's lawsuit. You should have remembered, Sir, that when you spoke to me about it, I testified to you that I would not invoke the statute of limitations on it, but I did not authorise you at all to make this imputation. It was natural that I should see a ruinous lawsuit concluded. If you had not treated me with the little consideration that you do, I would not have been difficult about this examination. [[notes]] Legal terms: Avoué, mémoire, co-partageantes, frais frustratoires, bureau de paix, and jurisconsultes are retained in French because they carry specific legal or institutional meanings. Currency: The abbreviation 150 tt probably denotes livres tournois, although the manuscript symbol remains somewhat uncertain.","[[label: Letter Text - Page 2]] 2nd, Can there be anything more outrageous for me than your informing me that you will refuse the experts the title deeds they might need. One can only deduce from this that you imagined I would use the pretext to remove them from your possession. Such actions are unknown to me. Am I not well authorised to think now that the confidential letter you handed to the president was left among my exhibits to be produced only in order to turn him against me; but nevertheless, if he settles your bill, I hope enough from his justice that he will reduce it to its fair value. You will doubtless tell me, regarding the writings you have produced, that I instructed you in my letters to take every possible interest in this affair; certainly I earnestly requested this of you, and I believe it is a very useless stylistic formula towards a person who exercises a profession that demands so much delicacy, trust, and above all, care. There is another item to which I can say nothing, since the tariff grants it to you, which is that of correspondence. You will agree that it is a bit exorbitant, thus it is entirely equitable that if you take advantage of the benefits the law grants you, I should do the same on my side; it would not be fair for you to enjoy all the advantages without my being able to do the same on mine. Thus, in the item of correspondence, I believe you will be sufficiently paid for the petitions, the incident, the bureau de paix, and the consultation fees. You will perhaps tell me that I promised to pay you for your presence at the bureau de paix; I remember it very well, but since everything the law grants you is increased in your bill, I believe you will not be able to accuse me of injustice. I always keep my word when I am not forced to break it. Doubtless, Sir, this letter will not be pleasant to you, but I have been very patient. I have taken advice on your bill and it is being reduced a great deal. I am very sorry, Sir, to have come to such an extremity. You tell me in one of your letters that it seems my intention is to abandon the partition there; I ask you if in my position you would slow down; it is a vain excuse you bring to palliate the step you took to voluntarily resign from my case. The partition is barely halfway done, and you would like to make it understood that I dismissed you. I believe that the properties that are before your eyes, in your town, and in the surroundings, of which a third will come to me, were quite capable of reassuring you about what I owed you. Good jurisconsults with whom I shared your letters and your bills could never imagine that such conduct was that of an avoué.","[[label: Closing and Signature]] I have the honour to greet you, Flavie Duval"],"research_statuses":[],"transcription_statuses":[],"translation_statuses":[],"citation":"Neruda Archives, NRA-L-000013.","rights":["Publicly available images, transcriptions, translations, metadata and descriptions may be copied, shared, reproduced and republished, in whole or in part, for non-commercial purposes, provided that Neruda Archives is clearly credited and the relevant item identifier and stable URL are preserved.

I am sorry for the trouble I have caused you, my friend, but you know that it would be with the greatest pleasure that I would do anything that might please you.

Buyers are rare, and when one goes so far as to sell things that cost a great deal of money, one gives them away for bread. And moreover, my daughter should not have paid me such a compliment. You know, my dear son, what I have done for you. I shall take good care not to sell what does not belong to me. I must tell you that my mother does not leave her bed. She is still very ill; it is an almost incurable illness. She rests neither day nor night, and I very little. With my sorrows, this is the last straw, and a great deal of expense with it. After all, you know, my dear son, what obligations we have regarding our fathers and mothers. In this respect I shall have nothing to reproach myself for, doing all that I owe to my mother. What will surprise you, knowing my mother as you do, is that she bears her illness with great patience. I do not believe she can go on much longer; one might say that she is doing her purgatory in this world. She draws tears from everyone; as for me, my dear son, I am almost inconsolable, so greatly have I changed.","[[label: Letter Text - Page 2]] Please let me know if you have any news of my brother. I have written to him twice and have had no reply from him. If I were in a different situation than I am, I would have the honour of going to look for him. Since I do not know where you write to him, please give him my compliments, and likewise to your young sister. My daughter is not in a condition to answer the obliging letter that you did her the honour of writing, nor the honour you do her by having chosen her to be godmother to her nephew. She is all the more honoured to have such an amiable co-godparent. She has told me that she is very sensible to all the marks of friendship that you appear to have for her. She asks you for the continuation of your friendship, which she will endeavour to deserve. She embraces you, as do my dear sister and her dear nephews. I believe you will not be able to read my handwriting. I am writing to you in bed, not being able to do it during the day. You may perhaps find my letter too long; I cannot do otherwise, and I am, embracing you with all my heart, as well as my dear daughter, my dear son and the newborn child, my dear son, your very humble mother and servant, the widow Burel My dear son, I embrace you with all my heart."],"research_statuses":[],"transcription_statuses":[],"translation_statuses":[],"citation":"Neruda Archives, NRA-L-000016.","rights":["Publicly available images, transcriptions, translations, metadata and descriptions may be copied, shared, reproduced and republished, in whole or in part, for non-commercial purposes, provided that Neruda Archives is clearly credited and the relevant item identifier and stable URL are preserved.

I could well have spent another week with you, very dear and good relative, and I need not have left until Saturday week, for by Thursday at the latest everything will be finished, and what shall become of me then in this great city of Nantes? Shall I be obliged from Friday to go aboard to stand watch? If I had known it would be so, I would have delayed my departure, as I have already told you, by at least a week. But it is too late now; what is done is done. — ».. When I have bought everything and completely finished all my purchases here, I shall send you an exact note of all the articles with the price beside them.. I had for a travelling companion from La Flèche to Angers a sheepdog whom I kept punching because he kept putting his head on my thigh and that displeased me; so at Angers I said to the Conductor, 'Halt there, I pay for my seat not to be with dogs but with people of my own kind, thus I must at all costs have a place inside, otherwise I shall pay only half my fare.' At that word he got down and got me a place such as I desired in the back.","[[label: Letter Text - Page 2]] I began today, Monday, to have two tooth stumps pulled out; how I suffered, ah! It is, it seems, my destiny, and since it is so, I must submit to it.. The dentist is very good; he asks 15 days at most to put my mouth in order and clean it. It is not yet finished, I assure you, I still have to suffer, and terribly. - Ah !!! ........ / I intend to go and see Monsieur Fruchard with my very dear Captain (to whom I delivered your letter) and at the same time ask him for the money he has with him.

And you, my dear Cousin, how are you, as well as all my very good and very devoted family in La Flèche? And that poor devil Henry, what is he saying, what is he doing? He is, I can assure you, an excellent boy whom I love as much as a brother. I swear it.. And that good Cécile who has been so kind to me, does she still have her headaches so often? Please tell her that I shall send her a little letter before my departure, as well as to my brother.

May Heaven grant me the grace of making a crossing as fortunate as the one from Mauritius to France, may it always cast a guiding eye upon me, may it, I say, grant me the happiness of seeing you all again in a year and a half just as I left you. Ah!! then I shall be happy, for how can one be so when constantly far from those one loves, those one cherishes, and those whom one knows equally love us and cherish you!!!! _ When we are under sail and for as long as I can have the land of France before my eyes, I shall say to myself: far away, very far away, are a father, a mother, brothers, sisters who are thinking of the poor navigator; they are undoubtedly praying for him too, for what prayers could be better heard than yours, O dearest relatives. - Pray, pray always for me when I am on the open sea, and for my part I shall not pray because I am not capable of it, but I shall form sincere wishes for the happiness and good health of you all. - - - - - -","[[label: Letter Text - Page 2]] And you, my Maurice, may Heaven restore your health and allow you, in a word, to continue your studies so that you may promptly reach the premier School; there you will have, I like to think, not a cousin, not a friend for a companion, but a wholly devoted brother, for I dream only of the moment of seeing us both in that brilliant school where we had a relative who has, so to speak, immortalised his name. - And you, my good Henry, are you not thinking of the Royal Navy? It is the best thing you can do; work hard at Mathematics so as to be able to reach Brest; but believe me, the best path one can follow to become a Sailor is not by going to Brest, it is by beginning as I am beginning, so as to be admitted later to deep-sea navigation; when you are admitted, you will see if circumstances are favourable, and from there you will enter upon the ships of the State.","[[label: Letter Text - Page 3]] Thank you, dear sister Cécile, for the token of friendship you give me; I am extremely proud of it and shall always think of you, but I did not need that, dear sister, to do so, for how can one forget the kindnesses and the consideration you have had for me. I thank you for it all the same. Embrace Amy warmly for me, as well as Marie.. And you, my old parents, may Heaven grant me the grace of holding you against my heart a few years from now.. farewell, all of you whom I cherish, all of you whom I love, I wish you Happiness, and health, prosperity: may God Hear it and cause my wishes to be fulfilled; tears come to my eyes and I cannot continue when I think that I am now leaving you and perhaps for ................ forever.. I have no time for the letter because night is beginning to fall and I am anxious to send it today.. farewell once more.. Believe me your entirely devoted and very affectionate cousin and friend G.

Which the tenant farmer of Sieur Chemon offered to pay when he presented himself, while paying the rents in wheat that he was tasked to pay on behalf of the said Sieur Chemon. Would you kindly allow me to present here an observation on the conduct held by the bailiff tasked with bringing action at your request against your censitaires. The bailiff, seized by greed, as well as the Messrs feudists who share the emoluments of the costs they generate, have at your request unleashed upon the censiers of your fief of D'joune a quantity of summonses to various individuals on 9 January of this year. It is astonishing that Monsieur Fouches, your attorney, went to find a bailiff from Mouliherne to come to Saumur to summon your censitaires, while there are bailiffs on the very spot, or at least at a short distance, since the day rate of the bailiff who was taken is 15 livres, who has drawn up 30 summonses that are charged at 3 livres 11 sols 3 deniers each in a single day. To avoid greater costs, I have satisfied Mr Fouches for the cens that were owed to you, and in addition for 10 livres 13 sols 9 deniers that he made me pay for the cost of 3 summonses.","[[label: Letter Text - Page 2]] I am in a position to prove that the bailiff summoned on the same day, 9 January of this year, more than 24 to 25 individuals subject to your dues, which at 3 livres 11 sols 3 deniers forms a large capital and which can be regarded as official extortion. Sieur Chemon, who highly respects the advantage he has of being your censitaire, cannot refrain at this moment from expressing his dissatisfaction to you, and before bringing his complaint and demand for restitution against the bailiff, which is very well founded (by the advice of the King's Prosecutor of Saumur), believes it his duty to warn you of the conduct that has been held against him. And as you are judicious and in a position to have the abuses repressed that are committed in such circumstances regarding harassment, Mr Chemon hopes that you will kindly have justice and satisfaction rendered to him shortly by having Mr Fouches restitute to him 7 livres 2 sols 6 deniers that were unjustly collected, because it is established that only one summons of 3 livres 11 sols 3 deniers is owed, and which still makes for quite decent costs for a principal of 2 livres 5 sols 11 deniers. I saw with my own eyes on the statement drawn up by Mr Fouches of all the dues you had demanded that the debtors are made to pay 3 livres 11 sols 3 deniers for each summons. Which is ignominious and puts one in the position of having the bailiff's costs officially assessed. I have the honour to be very respectfully, Sir, Your very humble and very obedient servant Dupuy de Tavoie"],"research_statuses":["The preferred catalogue form follows the visible and transcribed closing `Dupuy de tavoie`, normalized in creator and title as Dupuy de Tavoie.

J'étois à attendre dans le corridor que M.r le président me donna audience, lorsque je me sentis frappé sur l'épaule, me retournant je me trouvai face à face avec M.r Sabatier qui me prodigua ses honnêtetés & les marques de son ancienne amitié & car je puis vous assurer que toutes les fois que j'ai été dans le cas de le voir, il me considéroit moins comme son client que comme son ami particulier. nous promenâmes ensemble environ trois quarts ou une heure & si long-temps que croyant que c'étoit de sa part une complaisance, je craignois d'en abuser. je fus bientot détrompé. je lui parlai de mon affaire, il eut l'air de ne pas m'entendre je continuai, il éluda la question en me parlant d'une indisposition qu'avoit alors son cheval & m'invitant à l'aller voir. Là dessus il me quitte pour aller parler au Président, en sort un instant après en me disant, c'est maintenant votre tour je vous confirme mon invitation. J'entrai chez M.r le Président, je fis ma déposition sans être pressé par ce magistrat dont je n'ai qu'à louer l'honnêteté. c'est après que je fus rendre ma visite à M.r Sabatier, j'avois tout lieu de croire qu'il seroit le premier à me parler de ce qui m'interessoit, point du tout j'éprouvai à ce sujet le même silence qu'auparavant, il ne fut question de rien pas même de la maladie de son cheval qu'il devoit si ardemment me montrer. Je sortis de chez lui peu satisfait & tout intrigué de l'entrevue qu'il s'étoit menagée avec moi & sa visite chez M.r le Président avant mon interrogatoire. sa conduite à mon égard a donc été une énigme que je n'ai su & que je ne puis encore expliquer.","[[label: Letter Text - Page 2]] Au surplus tout ce que je pourrois conjecturer n'aboutit à rien, Il n'est plus chargé de défendre mes intérêts je ne dois plus m'occuper de ce qu'il fait ou peut faire. Nous passerons à l'origine de ma créance : j'avois fait avec avantage quelques opérations sur les soies avec Beaupré fils. Nos comptes étoient réglés. quelque temps après sachant que j'avois de l'argent, il me proposa d'aller dans le Vivarais acheter des soies de compte à demi. ses sollicitations, son exactitude passée, le bénéfice que nous avoient procuré les dernieres opérations tout parloit en sa faveur je me laissai entrainer. je lui confiai six mille francs. Il partit avec cette somme, plusieurs jours s'écoulèrent & je n'avois point de nouvelles de Beaupré je devins inquiet j'en fis part à son Epouse qui me dit que son mari avoit été retenu par une indisposition, mais qu'il arriveroit bientot. j'attendis encore, Beaupré ne parut pas. mon inquiétude alors augmenta & je résolus d'aller sur les lieux pour savoir ce qu'étoit devenu mon argent. j'arrive chez M.r Lapierre, je lui demande son fils, il me repond qu'il est à st laurent des bains, j'y vais, je le trouve effectivement, je voulus connoître l'emploi de mon argent, il me dit qu'il en avoit donné une grande partie à son pere pour payer des créanciers qui le poursuivoient. je lui adressai de vifs reproches il s'excusa & me pria de ne pas faire de bruit qu'il m'accompagneroit chez son pere et qu'il se rendroit caution pour lui, ce qui en effet il fit : Ce fut dans ce moment que l'un et l'autre me fesant part de leur position ils me gagnèrent à leur prêter encore Douze Mille francs, me donnant à entendre en me montrant leurs propriétés qu'ils me vendroient leur fabrique & un pré; qu'il y avoit un bénéfice eut à faire, j'avoue que la vue de cette propriété me flatta & je consentis à leur prêter encore. M.r Lapierre pere me fit son billet de Dix huit mille francs. à cette époque j'avois une maison à Lyon, M.rs Reynaud & Genissieux qui me fesoient des fonds, je me rendis chez eux pour négocier ce billet. M.r Reynaud à qui je le présentai, me dit en le lisant, malheureux qu'avez vous fait le pere Lapierre doit plus qu'il n'a. je commençai à sentir que j'avois été un peu loin. quelques temps après je reçois une lettre de M.r Lapierre pere qui m'annonce qu'il est toujours dans l'intention de me vendre ce qu'il m'a offert & m'engage à l'aller voir. Dans ce temps là j'avois des fournitures de chevaux à faire à Privas j'y fus, j'y connoissois plusieurs personnes que je consultai, entr'autres M.r Linet aujourd'hui juge, M.r Jean De bosse & M.r Sabat de la charriere qui tous me conseillèrent de ne pas acheter. M.r Linet que vous êtes à portée de voir pourroit se rappeller mon nom & se souvenir qu'il m'a donné dans cette occasion comme dans bien d'autres ce bon conseil, je ne l'ai jamais oublié & lui en sais toujours gré. M.r Lapierre ayant appris que j'étois à Privas vint me voir et me renouvella ses propositions. je lui refusai en prétextant qu'il n'y avoit aucune convenance pour moi il me dit alors puisqu'il en est ainsi rangez vous avec mon fils, faites vous payer des six mille francs que vous lui avez prêtés, quant à moi je vais vous céder ma créance sur M.r Michel Notaire, s'élevant avec les intérêts à sept à huit mille francs, vous","[[label: Letter Text - Page 3]] vous vous en ferez payer, ce que je vous resterai ne sera pas considérable, je vais terminer la vente de quelques pieces de fonds & je vous désinteresserai entierement. Je me fis faire alors une déclaration des six mille francs par Beaupré fils & plus tard une obligation sur laquelle j'ai reçu trois mille francs à compte. Le pere Lapierre m'ayant remis les titres de sa créance sur M.r Michel je le poursuivis & par jugement du Tribunal je fus autorisé à recevoir trois mille francs pour les interets. Ces poursuites furent suspendues jusqu'à ce que l'on m'écrivit de Privas que le moment seroit favorable pour me faire payer de M.r Michel, & que pour y parvenir plutot il me convenoit de retirer mes pieces de chez M.r Sabatier qui servoit toute la famille & de les remettre à M.r .... dont on me donnoit l'adresse & dont je ne me suis pas rappelé le nom. c'est ce que je fis ainsi que vous le verrez par la quittance de M.r Sabatier ci-jointe accompagnée de l'obligation de Beaupré fils. On voudroit me présenter dans cette affaire comme le prête nom de Beaupré. M.r le Président lui-même m'a donné à connoître qu'on lui avoit dit que dans ce temps là je n'étois pas à meme de prêter de l'argent. Ces deux assertions sont aussi fausses qu'attentatoires à mon honneur que je veux défendre & auquel je tiens plus qu'à la somme qui m'est légitimement due. Pour s'en convaincre que l'on examine attentivement quels ont été mes rapports primitifs avec Beaupré qu'elle confiance je lui ai accordée, de quelle maniere il m'a mis en rapport avec son pere quels ont été les motifs qui m'ont porté à lui prêter, mes démarches & les dépenses que j'ai été obligé de faire, l'on verra alors si j'ai pu être si long-temps le prête nom dans une affaire où mon honneur & ma tranquillité ne pouvoient qu'être compromis & où il a fallu à tant de reprises différentes débourser de l'argent. à cette époque je n'avois pas dit-on des moyens : je pourrois prouver qu'alors j'avois un crédit ouvert dans la maison Reynaud Genissieux de Lyon, que j'étois propriétaire de deux petits Domaines & de Deux fabriques à soie considérables, que je fus obligé d'en vendre une pour faire face au remboursement que m'occasionna le [remboursement] non payement des billets de M.r Lapierre & qu'enfin je payois 300 francs d'impositions dans la commune de Pelussin. je tiens beaucoup à vous faire connoître ces circonstances pour vous servir dans l'instruction de mon affaire & vous mettre à meme de détruire la mauvaise impression que de faux rapports ont pu produire sur l'esprit de M.r le Président. Je bornerai là mon narré déja assez long, mais plus encore si j'étois entré dans tous les petits détails. je m'en rapporte à vous, à vos soins & à ce que vous m'avez dit lorsque j'eus l'honneur de vous faire mes adieux si vous pouvez savoir d'avance à quelle époque se rendra le jugement, j'oserai vous prier de m'en aviser, je ferai mon possible pour me rendre à Privas Dans cette attente, Agréez, Monsieur l'assurance de la considération distinguée De Votre très-humble & obeissant serviteur Poncet le 27 Xbre 1825.","[[label: Docketing on the Exterior Leaf]] Lettre de Mr. [Joriel?] et piece qu'elle renferme. quittance de Mr Sabatier inscription contre la femme lapierre. P. 37. P","[[label: Postal Marks on the Exterior Leaf]] LE PEAGE 4"],"translation_segments":["[[label: Address Panel]] Monsieur Monsieur Boissonnet Lawyer Privas (Ardèche)","[[label: Letter Text - Page 1]] Virieu – 27 December 1825 Sir, Not having been able to secure the pleasure of seeing you to inform you of what had happened between Mr Sabatier and me at the moment I was going to present myself to the President of the Court of your town, please allow me to converse with you about it and to make known to you in what manner I am a creditor of Mr Lapierre Beaupré father, the origin of my claim, what happened in the intervening time, and you will see if I served as a front man for Beaupré son as they are trying to persuade the Judges. I was waiting in the corridor for the President to grant me an audience, when I felt a tap on my shoulder; turning around, I found myself face to face with Mr Sabatier, who lavished me with his courtesies and the marks of his old friendship, and for I can assure you that every time I had the occasion to see him, he considered me less as his client than as his personal friend. We walked together for about three quarters of an hour or an hour, and for so long that, believing it was a courtesy on his part, I feared abusing it. I was soon undeceived. I spoke to him of my case; he seemed not to hear me. I continued; he evaded the question by speaking to me of an indisposition his horse had at the time and inviting me to go and see it. Thereupon he left me to go and speak to the President, came out a moment later telling me, 'It is now your turn, I confirm my invitation.' I entered the President's office, I gave my deposition without being rushed by this magistrate, whose courtesy I can only praise. It was afterwards that I went to pay my visit to Mr Sabatier; I had every reason to believe he would be the first to speak to me of what interested me; not at all, I experienced on this subject the same silence as before; there was no mention of anything, not even of his horse's illness that he was so eager to show me. I left his place quite dissatisfied and thoroughly intrigued by the interview he had arranged with me and his visit to the President before my interrogation. His conduct towards me has therefore been an enigma that I have not known how to, and still cannot, explain.","[[label: Letter Text - Page 2]] Furthermore, anything I might conjecture leads to nothing. He is no longer in charge of defending my interests; I must no longer concern myself with what he does or might do. We shall move on to the origin of my claim: I had profitably carried out some transactions in silks with Beaupré son. Our accounts were settled. Some time later, knowing that I had money, he proposed that I go to the Vivarais to buy silks on a half-share basis. His solicitations, his past punctuality, the profit that the last operations had procured for us, everything spoke in his favour; I let myself be drawn in. I entrusted him with six thousand francs. He left with this sum, several days passed and I had no news of Beaupré. I became worried; I informed his Wife, who told me her husband had been delayed by an indisposition, but that he would arrive soon. I waited further, Beaupré did not appear. My worry then increased and I resolved to go to the location to find out what had become of my money. I arrive at Mr Lapierre's house, I ask him for his son; he answers that he is at St Laurent des Bains. I go there, I indeed find him; I wanted to know the use of my money. He told me he had given a large part of it to his father to pay creditors who were pursuing him. I addressed sharp reproaches to him; he apologised and begged me not to make a fuss, saying he would accompany me to his father's and that he would stand as guarantor for him, which he indeed did: It was at this moment that, both of them sharing their situation with me, they won me over to lend them another Twelve Thousand francs, giving me to understand by showing me their properties that they would sell me their factory and a meadow; that there was a profit to be made. I admit that the sight of this property flattered me and I consented to lend to them again. Mr Lapierre father made me his promissory note for Eighteen thousand francs. At that time, I had a firm in Lyon, Messrs Reynaud & Genissieux, who provided me with funds; I went to them to negotiate this note. Mr Reynaud, to whom I presented it, said to me upon reading it, 'Wretch, what have you done? Father Lapierre owes more than he has.' I began to feel I had gone a bit far. Some time later, I receive a letter from Mr Lapierre father announcing that he still intends to sell me what he offered me and urging me to go and see him. At that time, I had horse supplies to deliver in Privas; I went there. I knew several people there whom I consulted, among others Mr Linet, today a judge, Mr Jean De bosse and Mr Sabat de la charriere, who all advised me not to buy. Mr Linet, whom you are in a position to see, might recall my name and remember that he gave me on this occasion, as in many others, this good advice; I have never forgotten it and am always grateful to him for it.","[[label: Letter Text - Page 3]] Mr Lapierre, having learned I was in Privas, came to see me and renewed his proposals. I refused him, using the pretext that it was not suitable for me. He then said to me, 'Since it is so, settle with my son, get paid the six thousand francs you lent him; as for me, I will transfer to you my claim against Mr Michel, Notary, amounting with interest to seven or eight thousand francs, you you you will get paid from it, what I will owe you will not be considerable, I will finalise the sale of some pieces of land and I will pay you off entirely.' I then had a declaration of the six thousand francs made by Beaupré son, and later an obligation upon which I received three thousand francs on account. Father Lapierre having handed over to me the titles of his claim against Mr Michel, I pursued him and by judgment of the Court, I was authorised to receive three thousand francs for the interest. These proceedings were suspended until I was written to from Privas that the moment would be favourable to get paid by Mr Michel, and that to achieve this sooner, it suited me to withdraw my documents from Mr Sabatier, who served the whole family, and to hand them over to Mr .... whose address I was given and whose name I have not recalled. This is what I did, as you will see by the attached receipt from Mr Sabatier accompanied by the obligation of Beaupré son. They would like to present me in this affair as the front man for Beaupré. The President himself let me know that he had been told that at that time I was not in a position to lend money. These two assertions are as false as they are an attack on my honour, which I wish to defend and which I value more than the sum legitimately owed to me. To be convinced of this, let one examine attentively what my initial relations with Beaupré were, what trust I granted him, in what manner he put me in contact with his father, what were the motives that led me to lend to him, my steps and the expenses that I was obliged to incur; one will then see if I could have been the front man for so long in an affair where my honour and my peace of mind could only be compromised, and where it was necessary on so many different occasions to disburse money. At that time, it is said, I did not have the means: I could prove that I then had an open credit with the Reynaud Genissieux firm in Lyon, that I was the owner of two small estates and two considerable silk factories, that I was obliged to sell one to meet the repayment caused by the [repayment] non-payment of Mr Lapierre's notes, and that finally I paid 300 francs in taxes in the municipality of Pelussin. I am very keen to make these circumstances known to you to serve you in the preparation of my case and to enable you to destroy the bad impression that false reports may have produced on the mind of the President. I will limit my narrative there, already quite long, but even more so had I entered into all the small details. I rely on you, on your care, and on what you told me when I had the honour of bidding you farewell; if you can know in advance at what time the judgment will be rendered, I will dare to ask you to notify me; I will do my utmost to go to Privas. In this expectation, please accept, Sir, the assurance of my distinguished consideration.

Your last letter of 23 Feb. is the expression of a colleague who is hurt and offended by my not writing, which I should regret all the more, since it is certainly not my way to act uncollegially towards anyone, much less to fail to respect an old and deserving colleague. But you must also be fair and consider my circumstances: I have a large business, I am head of the guild, a local councillor and school inspector, and I have so much to do that I am factually running short of time, and so I have others assist me in answering letters, which was all the more appropriate here because the association had to give its verdict on your manuscript. I have not read the letter, but I do not expect that it was even remotely impolite, in which case I would immediately have to request that it be sent to me, for I tolerate not the slightest thing from Mr Editor, nor do I demand anything improper of him.","[[label: Letter Text - Page 2]] In the expectation that, following this statement of mine, your displeasure towards me will disappear, I enclose my photograph so that you may always have before you the image of an honourable and firm character that nothing in the world changes.

Some time ago, my dear Jérôme, people were asking me for news of you, but as I receive none, I cannot give any to anyone. Before complaining about you, however, I must make my mea culpa; my brother became angry with me the other day because, he said, I had not replied to your New Year's letter. I reflected, I realised that the year had begun four months ago and that it was indeed time to write to you. You will forgive me for having waited perhaps a little too long; you know that between good friends one does not look too closely at such things; besides, you know that my heart could not have forgotten you on the first day of the year; and since then, I assure you, it has very often thought of you. Have you not felt like coming back to repeat your rhetoric year? This year, I have a host of friends; but I am no longer in my year of seconde; I have two cousins named Le Pault who are very good boys; yet they still leave me longing for a Jérôme.","[[label: Letter Text - Page 2]] Poor Boguais has taken the wrong path; his friendship now seems to me to be merely a friendship of convenience. I do not mean to tell you, however, that I am bored; that may happen sometimes; but I have not had an unpleasant year; you would undoubtedly have greatly brightened it; I am in the philosophy class now, we would have had fine conversations together, I would have had a friend such as I should desire. My brother and I are on good terms with all the teachers, Mr Sagory is exceedingly kind to us. We will have the plaidoyer eight days before Corpus Christi. If my letters do not bore you, I will write to tell you whether I am taking part. We wished Mr Sagory a happy name day in the country beneath an avenue of lindens. We had not been allowed to stage a play, for fear of causing too much talk about the seminary in unfavourable times. Nevertheless, we performed a few little pieces during dinner with which people were quite pleased.","[[label: Letter Text - Page 3]] Mr Sagory was generous, he gave a carousel to the older boys and another to the middle group; a billiard table, velocipedes and a game of popinjay, the younger boys received swings. I think we have never had more fun than on that day. The long walks have become much more pleasant because of it. I hope that during these holidays you will come to see us at Lancerau, we shall have great pleasure. If you receive news of Dujoncheray, please give me some. Mr Joly is quite well, for a long time he has been telling me that he wants to write to you. Édouard sends his regards and Boguais too. Poor Boguais (I pity him, for I love him in spite of myself) has no judgement, how much harm Dujoncheray has done him! I wish I could bring him back; pray for him, my dear friend; if you write to him, do not let him suspect that I have spoken to you about him. Farewell, my good Jérôme, love me as I love you. Paul d'Andigné P.S. If I had more time at my disposal I would not be sending you such a scribbled letter.

As you had clearly anticipated, the quality is not to my liking; but it was not the recommendations I gave you that could have caused you to fear this; for I do not believe that such merchandise, especially No. 8, could suit anyone whatsoever: it is absolutely nothing but refuse, a spun yarn the like of which I have never seen; that is to say, a thread as thick as rope in some places, fine in others, and with that full of large knots and of an uneven pale colour. If this is the fine merchandise that your travelling salesman promised me and which was supposed to be at least as good as that which I received last year, it must be admitted that you take little trouble to fulfil his commitments, and I shall permit myself to tell you that this is not a way of doing business that deserves confidence: I had nevertheless given preference to a house that has just sent me a small consignment with which I am perfectly satisfied: this goodwill on my part is very poorly rewarded; so I regret it greatly. If it is the rise in indigos that could have led you to send me such a shipment, in order to make me give up the rest, you have perhaps not understood your interests very well; for this rise will not be eternal and (without permitting myself to remind you of what merchants owe to themselves) it is sometimes important not to begrudge a slight sacrifice (which I in no way obliged you to make since I only replied to your offers) to keep customers with whom one can have continuing and somewhat important relations. —","[[label: Letter Text - Page 2]] You did not treat Mr Tirlet the elder, of this town, in this manner, at whose establishment I saw today some of your cottons, arrived quite recently and which I found very fine: this house undoubtedly deserves consideration, but I believed I deserved as much. Anyone else in my place would have a formal report drawn up and could oblige you to deliver fine merchandise, since you have some, or others; but I abhor any unpleasant dispute, and although a loss for me must result from this, since I shall undoubtedly be obliged to pay more today independently of the delay which will be very prejudicial to me; nevertheless when I deal with houses whose way of doing business is not mine, I know how to make a sacrifice, but I also cease all relations with them. You will therefore be so good, following this, as to have your cottons taken back, and have me reimbursed 30 francs 85 centimes, the amount of the carriage, plus 30 francs for the allowance made on your previous shipments. I have the honour to salute you Digot the younger [[notes]] Procès verbal is rendered as 'formal report'; voiture refers here to carriage or freight, and bonification to a commercial allowance.

Mais, mon cher, c'est tout comme si tu disois : \" tu connois les travaux de la moitié de l'année, donc tu \\dois/ connoitre ceux de l'autre 1/2 qui souvent n'y ont point de rapport \" _ Je me suis fait, sans doute, indiquer ce qui pouvoit être indiqué ; mais quelle différence entre voir & se faire indiquer ! Comment veux_tu qu'après la première inspection, il ne me reste plus rien à apprendre dans les petits accessoires ? Je ne puis vraiment connoitre ces ouvrages que quand je les aurai suivis pendant les 4 saisons de l'année, & à Dieu ne plaise, /encore\\ que l'année prochaine je sois dans le cas de mettre à profit cette expérience & ces connoissances _ Pour la connoissance des individus avec qui j'ai affaire, je ne dépends pas moins de Crepot Je suis fort peu ou p^r mieux dire, je ne suis point répandu","[[label: Letter Text - Page 2]] en ville & avec notre renommée actuelle, je ne désire pas l'être davantage.

C'est ainsi que le dern^r samedy je suis resté une demi journée à la place sur le quai où se vendent les vins. Qu'ai je vu ? fort peu de vin, qui de plus a été offert 10 écus (meilleur compte qu'au dern^r marché & qui n'a pas été vendu.

But, my dear fellow, it is just as if you were saying: \"you know the work of half the year, therefore you \\must/ know that of the other 1/2 which often has no relation to it at all\" _ I have, without a doubt, had pointed out to me what could be pointed out; but what a difference between seeing & having things pointed out! How do you expect that after the first inspection, there remains nothing more for me to learn in the minor accessories? I cannot truly know these works until I have followed them through the 4 seasons of the year, & God forbid, /even\\ that next year I should be in the position of putting this experience & this knowledge to use _ For the knowledge of the individuals with whom I deal, I depend no less on Crepot I am very little, or to put it better, I am not at all widely known","[[label: Letter Text - Page 2]] in town & with our current reputation, I do not desire to be so any further. I must therefore rely on him in this matter, if not always, at least very often. \"What makes me believe in a negligence of administration \"is that I know little of what you begin, what occupies you & \"nothing at all of what you finish\" _ An advantage of your method pointed out above is that in support of this assertion you cite an example (about Bartet) which is destroyed by my penultimate letter, of which you only acknowledge receipt when you have made all the reflections you deemed appropriate. By this means _ although the cited examples cease to mean anything, the remarks still remain & I have only to profit from them _ I do not mean to say, however, that events, the manner in which my letters arrive, do not sometimes influence the arrangement of yours, but I think that your skill influences it even more _ What occupies me; but, my God, my letters inform you of it. They are wretched affairs for the most part, I admit & but (I separate from them my work & my private instruction) I have already told you, I am often very little occupied. Nevertheless, information contained in a few lines often costs me hours, entire 1/2 days. Thus it is that last Saturday I stayed half a day at the square on the quay where wines are sold. What did I see? very little wine, which moreover was offered at 10 écus (a better rate than at the last market) & which was not sold. They were pricing it at 170 f[rancs] per *botte* entry duties included, I do not know what it could be worth","[[label: Letter Text - Page 3]] [crossed out: I do not know] I did not taste it & even if I had tasted it, with my knowledge in this area, I would have been less advanced than before because I would only have revealed my ignorance We had agreed, Crepot & I, with 2 merchants successively; the first said that he could no longer make a deal because other more necessary affairs demanded his money, the 2nd that he still intended to make the deal but that those to whom he had sold [crossed out: his] for [they] refused to collect the wine etc. I frequently visit the vineyards, but I do not claim to play the scholar with people who know more about it than I do. I [crossed out: do not] know well that you do not want that from me, for what is more impertinent than self-satisfied ignorance? As for the necessary works, I can, after having informed myself about them, take care that they are not neglected. Thus it is that, a few days ago, I notified Cadot, Bouchard & [co.] to plant at the Clos de la Croix the *chapons* that were missing Mr. Chandon has inscribed me on the roll of the national guards; I made my objections to him; I do not yet know what will result from it: deep down I would not be sorry to contribute a little to the deliverance of France, but if that cost me an arm, a leg, it would be paying too dearly for this glory _ When Jules etc. etc. arrive, if I can see them, arrange for me to see them: I will be very obliged to you.

I do not doubt it, for I did not know what to think myself. I would desire that you might find my letter again, in which was the acknowledgment of debt for twelve hundred francs. I will give you details about our affairs. They will not give a duplicate at the post office until after six months, but I believe that by writing to Paris, if one discovered the office that is the cause of the delay, one would obtain compensation. I wrote to you that I sold wine on credit even to doubtful gentlemen during the blockade, for in those moments, what left the house was believed to be saved, in the fear we were in of the entry of the enemies and of continual requisitions. Likewise, I wrote to you that the division of the Duke of Ragusa drank a cask of it from me, and I was still glad to be let off with that. You say that wine is increasing much in price in your area. New wines have increased around here but have fallen back in price; old wines have not varied.

From that moment no one asks to buy a single cask of it; trade is annihilated at this moment. However, from one moment to the next it may resume, and I believe, as I wrote to you, that one should seize the moment, which I will only do after your reply, because of your last letter. In the event of a sale, I have enough wine left to finish our affairs and to facilitate your departure. I would keep the wine sold on credit for my share of the profit. Mr Siller, at the arrival of the allied troops in Nancy, spent four days in hiding. He left immediately afterwards for England, where he arrived in the course of January in good health among his family, whom he found the same.

I need this thought to sustain my courage. Then you can count on my perseverance. Whatever anyone may do, I will die if necessary, but I will never leave my post. Thus, Monseigneur, let it be well understood between us that you will take all the steps if your conscience tells you that you must take them; mine tells me that I must remain a stranger to all that is happening and wait before God for the manifestation of His designs for me. You will call this laziness, apathy. It is hard for me to be judged thus by the one whose approval I have most at heart to merit; it is one more sorrow that I have to offer to the good Lord.

Endorsement [(Teplice.) The monastic foundation of Osek in the Kingdom of Bohemia.]","[[label: Letter Text - Page 1]] Most Reverend and Most Distinguished Lord Abbot, Lord Prelate and most gracious Patron! For Your Most Reverend Lordship's private information, I most humbly communicate the important court billet which, sealed, His Most August Majesty caused to be delivered to each department of his court immediately after his departure. I have condensed its eight full sheets into the present single sheet so as not to burden the post unduly. In order that Your Lordship may read it more conveniently and consider its individual paragraphs, I judged it worthwhile to have it copied at home in larger script and format and, if you think fit, deposited in the archive for the information of your successors. In recent days, by command of His Most August Majesty, Cardinal Migazzi was required immediately to pay 80,000 florins, together with the accrued interest, to Count Buquoy into the treasury of the institute for the poor. The late Cardinal Kollonitsch had left this sum by testament to his successors in the archiepiscopal see of Vienna, at their free disposal, for distribution as alms to the poor.","[[label: Letter Text - Page 2]] A few days before His Most August Majesty's departure, the nuncio here delivered to His Majesty a letter from the Supreme Pontiff containing various pleas, warnings and exhortations intended to prevent further divisions of bishoprics, sequestrations of temporal property and suppressions of religious orders. Foreseeing its tenor, His Most August Majesty did not open the letter at once, but summoned the nuncio for the following day. On the appointed day His Majesty replied to him in his presence in these formal words: \"Someone in Rome has presumed, by concealment of relevant truth and false representation, to address to me under the name of the Supreme Pontiff the letter delivered to me yesterday. I return it here in the original, to be sent immediately into the hands of His Holiness, so that he may inquire into its author; for, given our mutual and very close friendship, I cannot persuade myself that the Supreme Pontiff could have written such a letter to me.\" I commend myself further to Your Most Distinguished Lordship's exalted favour and, with reverence and a kiss of your sacred prelatial hand, I remain until death Your Most Reverend Lordship's most obedient servant. P.S. In communicating the billet, I beg Your Most Reverend Lordship to proceed cautiously, since scarcely any private person possesses it. Vienna, 24 December 1783.

Si tu ne m'avais pas indiqué la voie à suivre, j'en aurais cherché une plus expéditive, et je viens (à cet effet) de prier Mr. Goguet, si la caisse, que tu attends sans doute avec quelque impatience, est encore à Toulon, de la diriger sur Marseille par les messageries imp.les et ensuite à Beyrouth par les paquebots de cette administration. J'espère qu'ainsi tu seras plus tôt satisfait; j'ai recommandé d'acquitter les frais de transport. Il m'est arrivé ces jours derniers (le 23 9bre) une petite boîte renfermant ta montre et un petit billet daté du 30 octobre, m'expliquant la cause de cet envoi. C'est le soldat de Mr Mounier qui m'en a fait la remise, Mr Mounier étant malade. Je me suis présenté le lendemain chez cet officier qui était sorti: ce qui me porte à croire que sa maladie n'est pas bien grande. J'ai toutefois regretté de ne l'avoir pas rencontré, puisque j'ai été ainsi privé du plaisir de m'entretenir de toi. Ton billet, mon ami, nous menace de la privation de ta correspondance, si tu ne reçois pas de nos lettres à chaque courrier. Je ne pense pas que cette exigence soit sérieuse: car tu sais bien qu'ici nous ne sommes sujets, qu'aux vicissitudes ordinaires de la vie, tandis que, là-bas, tu cours les chances des maladies d'un climat nouveau pour toi, et celles que peut amener l'état de guerre; qu'ainsi n'ayant point à concevoir d'inquiétude permanente à notre égard, tu n'as pas besoin de recevoir si souvent de nos nouvelles, tandis qu'il nous importe à nous, pour les raisons que je viens de dire, que tu ne négliges pas de nous donner des tiennes. Nous ferons en sorte que tu puisses à l'avenir te servir avec sécurité de ta montre et de t'envoyer prochainement les objets spécifiés dans ton billet. Nous te félicitons d'habiter avec Mr Du Broda un palais druse, et nous désirons bien sincèrement que vous contribuiez à reconstruire cette pauvre ville de Deir el Kamar, si maltraitée par le fanatisme turc. Ne manque pas, comme je t'en ai prié, de nous donner, chaque fois que tu nous écriras, des nouvelles de MMrs Du Brodan et Combette ainsi que des détails sur votre manière de vivre dans un pays où les usages français sont probablement inconnus. On dit la Syrie abondante en gibier et vous ne devez pas manquer de cuisiniers parmi vos hommes. Adieu, mon cher enfant, je t'exhorte vivement et ta mère aussi à te ménager et à prendre de toi tous les soins possibles Toute la famille t'embrasse tendrement [V. D. Cléry?] [marginalia] Je viens de recevoir la nouvelle, que je te communique, avec le plus grand plaisir, de la promotion de Charles à la 1re classe de son grade."],"translation_segments":["[[label: Address Panel]] Monsieur Danet Cléry, Sub-Lieutenant in the 13th Line Regiment, in Beirut, Syria via Marseille.","[[label: Letter Text - Page 1]] Paris, 29 November 1860. My dear Louis, As early as the 9th of this month, I dispatched to Toulon, by rail, a crate containing, according to your wish, various objects which the approach of winter made you feel the need of. I informed you of this shipment the same day. These effects were to be sent to you from Toulon through the agency of Mr Goguet, Lieut. in the 13th, at the same time as those of Mr Combette of whom you spoke to me in your letter of 20 October. Mr Goguet, to whom I had written on this subject, announces to me on the date of 16 November (and without speaking to me of the effects of Mr Combette) that the detachment of the regiment which could have taken charge of your crate had left when he received it, and that he would try to include it among the bales of clothing of the next shipment, or finally that he would wait for the departure of a new detachment which would go to join the corps. The result of all this is a delay which I could not foresee and of which I am","[[label: Letter Text - Page 2, marginal note and signature]] very annoyed. If you had not indicated to me the route to follow, I would have looked for a more expeditious one, and I have just (to this effect) asked Mr Goguet, if the crate, which you are no doubt waiting for with some impatience, is still in Toulon, to direct it to Marseille by the Messageries Impériales and then to Beirut by the steamships of this administration. I hope that thus you will be satisfied sooner; I have given instructions to pay the transport costs. A small box arrived for me these last few days (the 23rd of Nov.) containing your watch and a short note dated 30 October, explaining to me the cause of this shipment. It is Mr Mounier's soldier who delivered it to me, Mr Mounier being ill. I presented myself the next day at the home of this officer, who had gone out: which leads me to believe that his illness is not very serious. I nevertheless regretted not having met him, since I was thus deprived of the pleasure of talking about you. Your note, my friend, threatens us with the deprivation of your correspondence, if you do not receive letters from us by every mail. I do not think that this requirement is serious: for you know well that here we are only subject to the ordinary vicissitudes of life, while, over there, you run the risks of diseases of a climate new to you, and those that can be brought about by the state of war; that thus having no reason to conceive permanent anxiety regarding us, you do not need to receive our news so often, while it is important to us, for the reasons I have just stated, that you do not neglect to give us yours. We will make sure that you can in the future use your watch safely, and will soon send you the objects specified in your note. We congratulate you on living with Mr Du Broda in a Druze palace, and we very sincerely desire that you contribute to rebuilding this poor town of Deir el Kamar, so mistreated by Turkish fanaticism. Do not fail, as I have asked you, to give us, every time you write to us, news of Messrs Du Brodan and Combette as well as details on your way of living in a country where French customs are probably unknown. They say Syria is abundant in game and you must not lack cooks among your men. Farewell, my dear child, I strongly urge you, and your mother too, to spare yourself and to take all possible care of yourself. The whole family embraces you tenderly. [V. D. Cléry?] In the margin: I have just received the news, which I communicate to you with the greatest pleasure, of the promotion of Charles to the 1st class of his rank."],"research_statuses":["Letter, address and composite final page image-checked; sender remains unidentified"],"transcription_statuses":["Image-checked raw transcription"],"translation_statuses":["Image-checked English translation"],"citation":"Neruda Archives, NRA-L-000044.","rights":["Publicly available images, transcriptions, translations, metadata and descriptions may be copied, shared, reproduced and republished, in whole or in part, for non-commercial purposes, provided that Neruda Archives is clearly credited and the relevant item identifier and stable URL are preserved.

My dear Léon, I have replied neither to Steph nor to you because I relied on Modeste to give you news of me, and because, on the other hand, I was so busy that I scarcely had time to devote to my affections. I have nevertheless given the greatest consideration to all the signs of tenderness you have shown me. In accordance with your wish, I am working with the greatest activity on settling my share so that I may request a change of residence. I have made a proposal to Monseigneur concerning the acquisition of my house; he seems willing to consent on condition that the diocesan architect finds it suitable for the episcopal establishment. Monseigneur is still at Vico; he","[[label: Letter text - Pages 2-3 on one opened sheet]] plans to return to Ajaccio next Saturday, and only after his return will I be able to make arrangements to bring this matter to a successful conclusion. My plan is to obtain from him a letter by which he would consent to establish the episcopal palace in my house if the diocesan architect judges it suitable. Armed with this letter I shall leave for Paris, and with the help of [Bonavita?] and [Carabacena?] I hope to achieve my ends all the more easily because the state will gain a great advantage from it and because I shall allow it whatever period it wants for payment. Since my return to Ajaccio my health has again been tested. But I am beginning to recover. The fever has left me and, as a result, I have experienced a great improvement in my urinary ailment. I have noticed that this ailment corresponded with the sensations of fever. I have therefore concluded that I owe its origin to the fever. Mother tells me that she will be here next Friday despite her need for rest. Since arriving in Livorno she has been occupied in seeking a good position for [Bonavita?]. On this occasion she has received from him the most affectionate and devoted letters; these circumstances must not be mentioned to anyone. You will share this letter with Steph and tell him that my greatest diversion in this country is receiving your letters, but that he must not expect regular correspondence from me; my occupations are so numerous and so thorny that they absorb me entirely. I felt very deeply the anxiety caused to you by the illness of our dear Fifi; thank God she is now recovered. The children of Steph and [[notes]] Editorial notes: This capture contains two adjoining written panels of one opened sheet; the text is transcribed once in reading order from the left panel to the right panel.","[[label: Letter text - Final page and signature]] Modeste are doing wonderfully. Lolo has taken on rosy colours such as I had never seen in him; it is true that he never finds the day long enough for playing. You will tell me about the position that [Carabacena?] is said to have obtained in a town—which one? [Bonavita?] has informed me no more than you have. Farewell, my dear Léon. Receive, together with Steph, Marie and Adele, my tenderest embraces, and do not forget to offer my most affectionate compliments to the Chatel family. Your very affectionate father, Antoine Conti"],"research_statuses":["Recipient layers image-checked: Jean Conti is the postal addressee; Léon is the textual addressee.

Mlle Mounette l'a chargé de vous présenter ses civilités et de vous dire qu'elle était mariée depuis 6 mois. La récolte a produit quinze pièces de vin d'assez bonne qualité. Il n'en a encore été vendu que deux pièces à 70 f. Les pommes ont été vendues sur les arbres à bas prix. Il n'est pas encore marié (le Cloriot) mais il faut qu'il se marie car il a absolument besoin d'une vache qui lui fasse du fumier. Voyez si vous voulez, mais c'est cela. Du reste j'aime mieux transcrire : « Je ne suis pas encore marié, mais ma mère est toujours au- près de moi. Je ne peux cependant pas être longtemps sans me marier, car il faut que j'aie une vache pour me faire du fumier. » J'ai payé les impôts dernièrement. J'ai été chez Mr Duclos pour le faire patienter. J'ai été chez Mr Chambard prier de s'occuper de la location de Châteauvieux, et je m'en occupe moi-même. Je vais ensuite faire remplir [de vin de ma récolte] les bouteilles vides afin que vous puissiez le boire à votre prochain retour. Je fais beaucoup de travaux dans les vignes; j'ai arraché dans les endroits les plus mauvais. Ma sœur, la femme à Jean, est accouchée d'un gros garçon; c'est sa mère qui l'élève.

As for me, I amuse myself by rhyming trifles, little verses addressed to my friends, more often to myself. I had accidentally attempted to tackle drama, but the sketch remained lying in an old box. Decidedly, I do not have enough leisure to think of playing the poet. It is time to speak seriously, as my sheet is nearing its end. The gentleman mentioned in the letter from [Ploërmel?] delivered the letter to Miss Mounette. Miss Mounette asked him to present her compliments to you and to tell you that she had been married for 6 months. The harvest produced fifteen casks of fairly good wine. Only two casks have yet been sold at 70 francs. The apples were sold on the trees at a low price. Cloriot is not yet married, but he must marry because he absolutely needs a cow to make manure for him. Take it as you will, but that is how it is. Besides, I prefer to transcribe his own words: “I am not yet married, but my mother is still with me. I cannot, however, remain long without marrying, because I must have a cow to make manure for me.” I paid the taxes recently. I went to Mr Duclos to ask him to be patient. I went to Mr Chambard to ask him to attend to the renting of Châteauvieux, and I am attending to it myself. I shall next have the empty bottles filled with wine from my harvest so that you may drink it on your next return. I am doing a great deal of work in the vineyards; I have grubbed up the worst parts. My sister, Jean's wife, has given birth to a large boy; his own mother is raising him. Assurances of devotion from Father and Mother Silets, and from myself. As Mr Choubert has sent me nothing, I shall end by telling you that our whole family, touched by your kind remembrance, sends good wishes for you. My own wish is to see you soon in our picturesque and hospitable town of Châteauneuf, among your family and with a commander's epaulette. My respects to Madame. Embrace Fernand for me.

Dear Father, With this letter I reply to your two kind letters of the 10th and 12th of this month. I received verification in the first concerning three sealed [documents?] and matters relating to the arrangements of the manufactory. I communicated both letters to [Hostillescour?]. The writer then discusses two connected matters, a benefit or property belonging to a woman, the need to obtain her formal opinion, and hopes for a letter by June 20. Several lines are too uncertain to translate reliably. He urges the recipient to take action to remove an obstacle and lodge a complaint, and discusses the expectations, conduct and family feelings of the woman concerned.

From this I understood that the young woman had not formed sufficiently settled feelings in her own way, and that she considered going back to the country, having no home of her own. What she feels now is the need for further reflection; her age calls for more mature consideration. I am trying to dissuade her while preserving her regard. The following discussion of [Franz?], her husband and the expected outcome contains several passages that cannot be translated securely. The writer says he has had no news for some time, hopes that all depends on a good outcome, and reports that his own condition has remained the same for two or three days. Yours devotedly, [Sébastien?] March 16. I asked Mr. [Mecle?] to see whether he could obtain a position for [Constant?], but so far there is nothing definite. He hopes that André will obtain it and is awaiting a position; the remaining lines continue in an uncertain hand.

[Villiboury?] (Tarn & Garonne) à Montauban","[[label: Letter text - Page 1]] Lyon le 11 Juin 1847. Ma chère Adèle, nous étions bien impatients de recevoir des nouvelles de Montauban; mais nous savions que nous ne les trouverions guère; aussi notre premier soin fut d'aller à la poste. Nous savons avec grand plaisir que toute la famille jouit d'une bonne santé. Les nôtres ici vont fort bien; nous en sommes étonnés, personne n'a été un moment incommodé; quoique nous eussions passé toute une journée et la nuit en diligence, nous fûmes huit. M. [Lendron?] et moi, le soir avec cette dame et son mari, nous finîmes au petit théâtre. Voici Mlle Jenny Castan qui est charmante; dans la dernière fois elle dansa la reine d'un camp avec une grâce parfaite, et une très belle voix. La salle était pleine. On annonce Mlle Rachel, mais je ne sais pas si elle arrivera avant notre départ, qui est définitivement fixé à lundi prochain 21. Ce moment nous nous rapprochons de Montauban, et nous serons arrivés le jeudi où nous pourrons vous embrasser à tous avec grand plaisir. Assure grand-mère et maman que ma santé va fort bien. Je crains toujours qu'elles ne vivent en peine sur notre compte à tous, et pourtant cela marche fort bien. Nous devons aller à midi avec Mme [Lendron?] voir de faire quelques emplettes et voir le musée. Lyon est une bien grande ville, et je crois que pour les magasins en tout genre elle ne le cède qu'à Paris. Nous avons vu la place Bellecour qui est immense; les quais sont aussi fort beaux. À Genève on a la vue du lac, et ses rives si riantes et si bien habitées, qu'on ne trouve cela nulle part. Mais ce n'est pas une grande ville pour les objets de mode; je l'ai trouvée bien arriérée. Il y a beaucoup d'étrangers, et de mouvement de voitures. Les magasins d'orfèvrerie y sont en très grande quantité, et superbes. La route de Genève à Lyon est fort agréable. Les montagnes du Jura sont très pittoresques. À présent nous avons fini les montagnes, et quoique ces sites soient très beaux, j'aime encore mieux les plaines où est tenue la voiture avec plus de sécurité. L'intérieur de la ville de Lyon est fort noir; les maisons sont toutes enfumées. L'hôtel de ville est immense, c'est un monument qui paraît très ancien. Nous avons regretté beaucoup Lucette; nous espérons la trouver rétablie ainsi que le petit [nom incertain]. Tout ce dernier se trouve que sa maladie a été bien longue. Ton exquise infiniment ces dames; fais à toutes nos compliments, ainsi qu'aux dames [Tergir?]. Adieu ma chère Adèle. Je vous embrasse à tous de bien bon cœur. [paraphe]","[[label: Letter text - Page 2]] Je remercie Alexis des soins que je lui ai causés; je le prie encore de vouloir bien faire appeler Pierre et de lui dire que quand je lui ai interdit par la justice de faire son travail dans le mur de la maison, c'était pour qu'elle restât libre pour les réparations que je dois convenir à mon arrivée; que s'il y a déjà fait porter ses pierres il les fasse sortir puisqu'il faudrait qu'il le fît à mon arrivée. Qu'il lise bien la partie dont j'ignorais l'exécution rigoureuse, comme je l'en ai prévenu. Nous voici à Lyon depuis huit [jours], ma chère Maman, et quoique nous soyons en cette belle ville, nous avons commencé de nous en approcher; c'est avec plaisir que nous comptons le peu de jours qu'il nous reste à être éloignés de vous. Il nous tarde si bien à tous que nous renonçons à aller voir St Étienne, quoique l'on puisse faire le trajet dans une journée; ayant quelques emplettes à faire pour les- quelles il faut un peu de temps et que ceux en voyage pour les mines qui doivent alors profiter de cette journée pour aller visiter cette ville. Mme [Migy?] est aussi tentée d'y aller. Nous avons prolongé bien long-temps notre séjour à Genève; c'est une si jolie ville de gaieté qu'on se décide. L'on jouit d'une vue délicieuse et puis il y a beaucoup de sites curieux à visiter dans les environs. Le dernier dimanche que nous y avons passé, qui se trouvait être jour de la fête de l'Institut, nous allâmes au temple à deux fois; le matin on nous donna la satisfaction d'entendre M. Chenevière; de la joie peu de ma part à M. [Davan?] et le plaisir que nous eûmes à l'entendre. Je lui trouvai beaucoup de ressemblance dans sa prédication avec M. Vinet de Bordeaux; je crois même qu'il a plus de talent. Le soir nous allâmes à l'église St Pierre où nous entendîmes un pasteur d'un talent plus médiocre dont nous ne sûmes pas le nom; étant encore de bonne heure, les deux heures, nous allâmes à [Ferney?] dîner et visiter le château de Voltaire. La pluie qui nous arriva quatre heures nous contraria un peu et","[[label: Letter text - Final page and signature]] pour lui; car après avoir visité l'intérieur du château nous fûmes obligés d'aller rejoindre notre voiture sans pouvoir visiter les jardins, qui ne sont à la vérité remarquables que par les souvenirs qu'ils nous donnent. Le concierge était précis des détails qu'il nous donna; soit l'aspect de [nos écoles?]. Comme votre lettre est ancienne de date, quand nous l'avons reçue nous ne savions pas où nous devions attendre à Paris dans notre route de Paris. Je te prie, ma chère Maman, de faire écrire à [Migeon?] qu'elle revienne de ta fille le 15 ou le 16 pour avoir le temps de faire les appartements avant notre arrivée; dis je te prie à M. Raimond que j'ai écrit à son fils le premier jour de notre arrivée à Genève, et qu'il nous tarde à tous de savoir plus directement de ses nouvelles. Ma chère Adèle, je crains que tu ne sois pas satisfaite du jugement que nous te porterons; car nous avons été si paresseux que j'ose à peine te le dire. [Chalice?] est celle qui lit le moins et pourtant notre portefeuille s'est augmenté; quelques croquis et [des daguerréotypes?]. Amélie a fait quelques croquis, mais moins que je ne l'aurais désiré. J'espère pourtant qu'André les aura et [passage incertain]. Il y en a dans le nombre d'assez jolies; nous avons même acheté les lithographies des plus belles vues de la collection pour en donner l'empreinte sur les jeunes mémoires. Nous voulons acheter ici, n'ayant pu le faire à Genève, quelques points de vue des beaux sites de ce pays. Adieu ma chère Adèle; mes amitiés à toutes ces dames, dis à Henriette et Mathilde que parmi les plaisirs bien doux qu'elles ont passé tout peu de temps, mes amitiés à [Mida?] et dis-lui qu'il me tarde beaucoup de la revoir pour qu'elle me parle de Paris et me raconte les nouvelles de la bonne tante de Victor. Auguste Aubry"],"translation_segments":["[[label: Address panel]] Madame, widow of [Auguste Aubry?] [care of?] Mr. [Villiboury?] (Tarn-et-Garonne), Montauban","[[label: Letter text - Page 1]] Lyon, June 11, 1847. My dear Adèle, we were very impatient to receive news from Montauban, but we knew that we would scarcely find any; our first concern was therefore to go to the post office. We learned with great pleasure that the whole family is in good health. Those of us here are doing very well; surprisingly, no one has been unwell for a moment, although we spent a whole day and night in the stagecoach. In the evening we went with Mr. [Lendron?], a lady and her husband to the small theatre. Miss Jenny Castan was charming; she danced a queen with perfect grace and has a very beautiful voice. The theatre was full. Miss Rachel has been announced, but I do not know whether she will arrive before our departure, now definitely fixed for Monday the 21st. We shall then be closer to Montauban and arrive on Thursday, when we shall embrace you all with great pleasure. Assure Grandmother and Mother that my health is very good. I always fear that they are worrying about us, although everything is going very well. At noon we are to go with Madame [Lendron?] to make a few purchases and see the museum. Lyon is a very large city and, for shops of every kind, I think it yields only to Paris. Place Bellecour is immense and the quays are very beautiful. In Geneva one has the view of the lake and its cheerful, well-populated shores, which cannot be found anywhere else. But it is not a great city for fashionable goods; I found it very backward. There are many foreigners and much carriage traffic, and the goldsmiths' shops are numerous and splendid. The road from Geneva to Lyon is very pleasant and the Jura mountains are very picturesque. Although these places are beautiful, I still prefer the plains, where the carriage travels more safely. Lyon itself is very dark and the houses are smoke-blackened. The town hall is immense and appears very old. We greatly missed Lucette and hope to find her and the little [name uncertain] recovered. Give our compliments to all the ladies. Farewell, my dear Adèle; I embrace you all with all my heart.","[[label: Letter text - Page 2]] I thank Alexis for the trouble I caused him. I again ask him to summon Pierre and tell him that when I legally forbade him to carry out his work in the house wall, it was so that it would remain free for the repairs I must arrange on my arrival. If he has already had stones brought there, he should remove them, since he would have to do so upon my arrival. He should read carefully the relevant section whose strict enforcement I did not know, as I warned him. We have now been in Lyon for eight [days], my dear Mother. Although we are in this beautiful city, we have begun to feel that we are drawing nearer to you and count with pleasure the few days that remain before we are no longer separated. We are so impatient that we are giving up the trip to Saint-Étienne, even though it can be done in a day; we have purchases to make that require some time. Madame [Migy?] is also tempted to go. We prolonged our stay in Geneva for a long time; it is such a pretty, lively city, with a delightful view and many curious places to visit nearby. On our last Sunday there, the day of the Institute's celebration, we went to church twice. In the morning we had the satisfaction of hearing Mr. Chenevière, whose preaching I found very similar to Mr. Vinet of Bordeaux, and I even think he has more talent. In the evening we went to Saint-Pierre church, where we heard a more mediocre pastor whose name we did not learn. As it was still early, at two o'clock we went to [Ferney?] for dinner and to visit Voltaire's château. Rain arriving at four o'clock inconvenienced us somewhat and","[[label: Letter text - Final page and signature]] made us hurry, for after visiting the interior of the château we had to return to our carriage without being able to visit the gardens, which are in truth remarkable chiefly for the memories they evoke. The concierge supplied precise details. Because your letter was already old when we received it, we did not know where we should wait on our route to Paris. My dear Mother, please have [Migeon?] told to return on the 15th or 16th so that there is time to prepare the apartments before our arrival. Please tell Mr. Raimond that I wrote to his son on the first day of our arrival in Geneva and that we all long for more direct news of him. My dear Adèle, I fear you will not be satisfied with the account we give you, for we have been so lazy that I scarcely dare admit it. [Chalice?] reads least, and yet our portfolio has grown with a few sketches and [daguerreotypes?]. Amélie made a few sketches, but fewer than I would have liked. I nevertheless hope André will receive them. Some are quite pretty; we even bought lithographs of the finest views in the collection to impress them upon young memories. Since we could not do so in Geneva, we intend to buy here several views of the beautiful places in this region. Farewell, my dear Adèle. Give my affection to all these ladies; speak to Henriette and Mathilde of the sweet pleasures they spent together, give my affection to [Mida?], and tell her that I greatly long to see her again so that she may tell me about Paris and give me news of Victor's good aunt.

I do not fear at all to speak to you of your dear daughter, I undoubtedly provoke your tears, I am not sorry for it, there is only this way to relieve you. What a deprivation for you, my dear sister, your only friend. Finally, her children remain with you, here is a consolation, you have them with you, the eldest will keep you company, she will seek to distract you from your pain, she is at the age to feel the loss she has just suffered, she will make every effort to give you courage and to take some herself; I am at the moment of a very painful separation. On March 5th he sets sail if the winds permit it. It is an absence perhaps of two years, at least of one year if our affairs are arranged promptly. May I hope to see them again? My health would have to recover, I confess to you that it is much altered, I have great need of tranquility. Fanni and her daughter cannot be back until [Tuesday deleted] Wednesday at 11 o'clock or midnight, she will barely be able to see her daughter, everything afflicts me and kills me. But it is not of myself that I must speak to you, it is of you, of your dear husband, of your children. Give them all my regards. I am not writing to my brother at all, this letter is for you both. I am persuaded that he knows all that I feel and how much I am attached to you.

When you see Mr. Ladieu, tell him for me everything that the circumstance permits, may he enjoy good health.

However, after the letter you wrote to Papa on the occasion of his name day I had decided not to delay any longer, when a small package arrived by stagecoach that a lady friend of yours sent me with 21 f. from the sale of three fichus. So I put off my letter for a few more days, to try to sell something else as well to increase a little the money I wanted to send you. I succeeded in selling the two muslin bonnets, and three fichus. They are quite right to say that merchandise offered for sale loses its value, for I can assure you that I spare no effort in disposing of your goods; I offer them often without success. Now you want to know, my dear Caroline, some details about my marriage. I will try to satisfy you.","[[label: Documentary page 3]] I am not surprised that my husband's name is not unknown to you, first because I was the intimate friend of his first wife Christine Weisbrod, whom you probably saw during your stay among us. After the loss of my friend, my husband continued to see us as in the past. Since he has been a widower he has made three voyages and each time he was ashore his visits were frequent. Finally, upon his arrival last February, he came to our house the next day, he told me right away that his intention was not to make the next voyage, that he wanted to rest, and that besides he had plans. I suspected a little what that meant, however I was not certain of it. Finally, when his ship was dispatched for a ten-month voyage he explained himself more clearly. Despite the sorrow I had at causing pain to Papa, I decided to accept my husband's hand, being persuaded in advance of the happiness that awaited me, having been more than anyone else in a position to know his home life during his first union. Now, I can only congratulate myself, for every day I see that his tastes agree with mine. I therefore went on 14 May to the church at nine o'clock in the morning accompanied by Papa, Mama, my brothers, their wives, and their children, and my future husband's witnesses. I had a white wool satin dress, and a white hat, and my wedding shawl which is very beautiful:","[[label: Documentary page 4]] After the ceremony, we returned to the house where a luncheon awaited us, after which the gentlemen went to their occupations, the ladies to their homes. As for me, I busied myself with having my clothing transported to the residence I was to occupy in the evening. Four o'clock soon came, it was necessary to dress again, which was the same as in the morning, with the exception of the shawl and the hat. My hair was done up with a garland of flowers. Our living room being too small to receive twenty-some people, Madame Corron, always good to me, offered me hers, which I accepted; in this way I was able to return the courtesies I had received up to that moment. After supper, we danced a few rounds to make the wedding a little gay, then Papa and Mama walked me home. I regretted only one thing that day, my dear Caroline, and that is your absence; I would have had so much happiness to have you near me as well as your dear children, they too were missing at the little table of the brats. Laure, as the oldest, would have been the queen of it. But I notice that with my chatter my paper is running out and I have not given you an account of the money I am sending you. First 20 f. for Laure's purse; if she wants to give something out of it to her brother Henry she will give me pleasure, so that I may prove to him that I have not forgotten him. I have only one regret, which is that the gift is so small, but on the occasion of a wedding expenses are not lacking. Then 21 f. from the lady who sent me the embroideries, and 49 f. that I had for you, which makes 90 f. 49 20 21 Total 90 [written in the left margin] Farewell, my good Caroline, we are all quite well, Papa was touched by your kind remembrance. My husband asks me to send you his warmest regards. Another time I will leave him a little space in my letter so that he can write you a few lines. I kiss your children for us both, our regards to your family. My address is 10 rue d'Angers.

A week from tomorrow we have another holiday for 15 days for Pentecost. By the way, I had written to you to tell me what you wished me to do regarding my religious instruction. Having received no letter speaking to me about it, I conclude that silence gives consent and I will speak with my uncle to Mr Palmier (the French minister) as soon as the opportunity presents itself. I had a great joy the other day. The good Auguste, my cousin from Wolfenbüttel, sent me your portraits which he copied from those made by Theodore. They gave me the greatest pleasure. You look very much like yourself, Augusta too, Pauline, Delia and Victor too, but I find that Mamma and Louise look a little too old and severe. The position you have in this little painting proves to me again your love for me: you are rereading one of my letters. I also think very often of you, dear Grandmother. Every time I cast my eyes on this painting which is hung in the room where I am most often, [return to my memory] I feel all the pleasures that I felt near you, all the moments of joy of those delicious evenings where, while Mamma had the goodness to play a game of chess with me, Louise and Augusta sang, Papa listened to them and the others rolled on the rug, and you, while knitting, would tell us something.","[[label: Documentary page 3]] Berlin is very beautiful, its great towers, its palaces, its promenade (der Thiergarten), all of this is perhaps more sumptuous than in Montpellier, but this latter city contains objects that are dearer to me than all that the universe can possess. These objects are you. Every morning my first thought is towards Montpellier, my last every evening is always towards Montpellier. Farewell, my dear Grandmother. I kiss you with all my heart and am for life your devoted grandson Jules P.S. When you go to have café au lait at Aunt Basse's or Roquepine's, do not forget to give them my regards, as well as to the other aunts Vassas, Pigeaire, Tustel, Pauline, etc., etc. Give me news of them sometimes. Dear Louise, You tell me that you saw 'Le Pré aux clercs' played and that the music amused you enough. I saw it played, sung by the best male singer of the Opera here, and..... I fell asleep. I also saw 'Bertrand et Raton', which interested me enough, however I found nothing extraordinary in it. Yesterday the Princess of Prussia, wife of Wilhelm, the second son of the King of Prussia, came to the museum. Uncle took me with him to show her the birds. The princess spoke to me in French, told me that she was charmed to make my acquaintance, and and having never spoken to people of such high rank I believe that I went about it a little awkwardly in my answers: yes, yes, Royal Highness, no, Royal Highness, etc. The ladies of the court also spoke a lot of French with me, asked me the name of several birds, e.g. coquillade, starling, etc., etc. The princess is to return to the museum and told Uncle that he should often bring me with him, as well as my cousin Moritz who was also there to help carry the birds.

I can no longer see, it is a quarter past eight.

Je m'explique: Depuis bientôt 25 ans, je dirige le poste fondé par Madame la Comtesse Lefebvre Desnouettes, d'heureuse mémoire. J'eus des correspondances très intimes avec elle. Quand le bon Dieu l'a appelée à lui, mes relations eurent lieu avec Madame de Sancy de Parabère, votre mère, quand j'eus la douleur de la perdre, je m'adressai à Madame de Sancy de Parabère (à Boran) votre belle sœur, qui hélas! n'est plus depuis quelques mois, je me permets de vous envoyer sa dernière lettre, que je garderai comme une relique, cette chère","[[label: Letter text - Page 2]] Dame n'a pas répondu à ma dernière lettre, elle s'est envolée au Ciel avant, j'espère qu'elle me la fera faire par vous, Madame, car vous êtes ma dernière planche de salut. Voilà ce dont je sollicite de votre extrême charité: La fondation de Madame la Comtesse Lefebvre Desnouettes, est faite pour les enfants pauvres (filles) de la Commune de Fontaine-la-Mallet (Seine-Inf.re) dirigée par une Religieuse de St Aubin, mais, d'après les nouvelles lois scolaires, les Communes n'ont pas le droit, au décès des Sœurs, de les remplacer par des Sœurs, c'est une laïque de droit qui arrive, ou quand les Religieuses ont 60 ans, on les met à la retraite, et elles sont encore remplacées par une laïque. Une Dame, habitant Paris, (Madame Pinel), veut bien donner un local pour faire une classe libre, mais la cage ne nourrit pas l'oiseau, il faudrait pour cela avoir les 410 f de rentes, fondées à perpétuité par Madame la Comtesse, pour pouvoir fonder cette école libre. C'est donc, une autorisation signée, par les trois héritiers de Madame de Sancy de Parabère, que je sollicite, afin d'intenter un procès à la Commune au moment de la laïcisation (Madame Pinel poursuivrait le procès, ces Messieurs de Sancy et de Reiset, n'auraient rien à débourser) mais on ne peut intenter le procès sans leur autorisation","[[label: Letter text - Page 3, signature and later note]] J'espère Madame, que vous ne me refuserez pas ce service ni Monsieur de Reiset non plus, je sais que vous êtes de fervents chrétiens et que vous aurez à cœur, que l'œuvre de votre grand'mère se continue.

Let me explain: For almost 25 years, I have directed the post founded by Madame the Countess Lefebvre Desnouettes, of happy memory. I had very intimate correspondence with her. When the good God called her to Himself, my relations took place with Madame de Sancy de Parabère, your mother; when I had the sorrow of losing her, I turned to Madame de Sancy de Parabère (at Boran), your sister-in-law, who alas! has been no more for a few months, I take the liberty of sending you her last letter, which I shall keep as a relic, this dear","[[label: Letter text - Page 2]] Lady did not answer my last letter, she flew away to Heaven before, I hope she will have it answered for me by you, Madame, for you are my last plank of salvation. Here is what I solicit from your extreme charity: The foundation of Madame the Countess Lefebvre Desnouettes, is made for the poor children (girls) of the Commune of Fontaine-la-Mallet (Seine-Inf.re) directed by a Nun of St Aubin, but, according to the new school laws, the Communes do not have the right, upon the death of the Sisters, to replace them with Sisters, it is a laywoman by right who arrives, or when the Nuns are 60 years old, they are put into retirement, and they are again replaced by a laywoman. A Lady, living in Paris, (Madame Pinel), is willing to give premises to establish a free class, but the cage does not feed the bird, it would be necessary for that to have the 410 f of annuities, founded in perpetuity by Madame the Countess, to be able to found this free school. It is therefore, an authorisation signed, by the three heirs of Madame de Sancy de Parabère, that I solicit, in order to bring a lawsuit against the Commune at the moment of secularisation (Madame Pinel would pursue the lawsuit, these Gentlemen de Sancy and de Reiset, would have nothing to pay) but one cannot bring the lawsuit without their authorisation","[[label: Letter text - Page 3, signature and later note]] I hope Madame, that you will not refuse me this service nor Monsieur de Reiset either, I know that you are fervent Christians and that you will have it at heart, that the work of your grandmother continues.

Mr. Pernod fils, in Couvet. We confirm to you the letter that we had the pleasure of writing to you on the 7th of the current month. (It) announced to you the purchase, & the dispatch at the same time, of the 3 pieces of 3/6. that you had requested from us, & of which we remit to you the invoice, amounting to 1190. 70 francs of which it will be good that you have given us credit, value of the said day. We hope that this shipment will reach you in good condition, & that you will be satisfied with it. We have yet to announce to you a new drop in our spirituous liquors. We could not foresee it, just as it is impossible to foresee today how far it will go. What is certain is that if orders come to us, our prices could well recover. If you wished to forestall this movement, it would be fitting that you give us some orders, in order to profit from the period of decline. At the last market in Béziers the price of 3/6. available was fixed at 22. 75 c. there were about 60 pieces made; 22. 50 c. was given for delivery between now and the end of the month, & 150 to 200 pieces were traded deliverable in November & December next at 22. 25. & at 22. -- at Pézénas there was no price for 3/6. available deliverable at Cette, of which only 21. 50 c. was offered; a few pieces were made at this price, as well as at 21. 75 c. a lot of business was traded for November & December next at 22. -- brandy 14 d. 5/6. 15. 50 c. Here there was made during the week some brandy at 13 d. & some 5/6. at 15. -- there were also made some 3/6. deliverable in the coming week & until the end of the month at 20. 50 c. one would have taken for November & December but there were no sellers; 3/6. of Marc 17. -- we are today in the same position; Our harvests are almost finished; we will have an ordinary crop & our wines will be delicious; It would well be the year to make some provisions Here is a circular to which we refer ourselves We salute you from the heart Roüet & Ce [[notes]] Editorial notes: The abbreviations '8bre', '9bre', and 'xbre' refer to October, November, and December respectively. The term '3/6' (trois-six) refers to a specific high-proof spirit. The abbreviation 'pces' stands for 'pièces' (barrels or casks). The abbreviation 'dispble' stands for 'disponible' (available). The term 'l'audevie' is a phonetic spelling of 'l'eau-de-vie' (brandy).","[[label: Printed trade circular enclosed with the letter]] LUNEL, first of October 1827. Sir, Motives of convenience engaging Our Mr. SERVEL to retire from business, we have the honor to inform you that as of this day, he ceases to be part of our House. It is undoubtedly painful for us to separate from a brother-in-law and a friend with whom we have worked for 25 years; but in putting an end to our social ties, we remain no less united by those of an unalterable friendship. The retirement of Our Mr. SERVEL brings no change to our House, which will continue the same kind of operations, and will occupy itself, as in the past, with the execution of the orders that our friends will kindly entrust to us for the purchase of Wines, Brandies, Spirits and all the other Productions of Languedoc; we claim the preference of yours. Our establishments in CETTE, BÉZIERS and LUNEL provide us with the means to fulfill them in such a way as to see you renew them often.

I was pleased to receive your honoured letter of the 16th instant, and I thank you very much for quoting the prices of your absinthes. I would like to make a small trial order in order to establish business relations with your respected house for our mutual benefit. During the thirty years that I have been in business, I have conducted my transactions for cash, so that I need give them no further thought and because the discount due to me is my first consideration. I follow this practice with everyone without distinction, and do the same for the commissions entrusted to me. This is for your guidance. Wishing to ascertain the quality of your absinthe, I authorize you to send, for my account and at my risk, by whatever means you consider fastest and most advantageous for me, two casks of absinthe containing 150 to 200 litres each, in double casks. I shall reimburse you with a bill payable in Paris as soon as the merchandise is received; and since I shall record the date of dispatch, instead of the three-per-cent discount I shall deduct the number of days required for the reimbursement to reach you. I hope the quality will be good and will encourage me to place larger orders, which I shall hasten to send you. For now, hoping to hear from you, I offer you my distinguished salutations. Gius.

Les vins de Bourgogne sont demandés, nous manquons entièrement d'assortiment ; une assez forte partie, rouge et jeune dans les prix de $6 à 8 se vendrait promptement cette sorte est très-goutée dans ce pays.

Les vins ordinaires de Marseilles, et Bordeaux en bouteilles ou barriques sont toujours très-vendables, même en général au debarquement, vu la grande consommation par leurs faibles prix.

Bordeaux wines in bottles and one-dozen cases sell readily, especially the ordinary wines priced at $4–6. The French ship Gabrielle arrived from Bordeaux this month with a large supply, part of which has already been sold. Wines in casks are in greater demand and the supply is very low. Wines from the Côtes du Rhône are scarce, except for 400–500 dozen bottles of white Hermitage in my hands and a few other small lots of white and red Hermitage and Côte-Rôtie on the market, but of very ordinary quality. A larger quantity of good ordinary red at $4.50–5 would find buyers, as would wine in casks at $35–40. Burgundy wines are in demand and we are entirely without an assortment. A fairly large shipment of young red wine priced at $6–8 would sell promptly, since this kind is very well liked in this country. Sparkling wines always sell readily. Champagnes are very active. A great deal was sold privately this month, and 400–500 dozen were also sold at auction at $9–10.50. Good selections sell at the prices quoted. Ordinary wines from Marseille and Bordeaux, in bottles or casks, are always very saleable, generally even as they are landed, because their low prices produce high consumption. Brandies are declining in price because of the quantity that has arrived and is expected each day. Since the market for them in these regions is considerable, it is unlikely that they will undergo a further substantial decline from these prices."],"research_statuses":["Address panel, transatlantic postal evidence, Francis Renevier's complete handwritten commission letter of 1 July 1831 and every legible word, heading, table section, market remark, duty and exchange entry in the enclosed New York price current of 30 June 1831 were reviewed against all three full-page images. Physical paper losses and fold-obscured readings remain explicitly marked. The printed quotation 'Absinthe of Couvet' at 10–11 dollars per dozen was verified.

The merchandise is very good, handsome and very carefully prepared. The petite absinthe consists of the flowering tops of the plant, with fine stems very thickly covered in small leaves. It is all genuine Pontarlier growth. This lot consists of no. 284, four bales of hyssop, and no. 128, two bales of petite absinthe: no. 382, six packages. I send you the invoice overleaf, amounting to 578.40 francs, for which I shall draw on you by a draft payable November 30 next; please give it the customary favourable reception. The lot of 1,000 to 1,200 kilograms of hyssop about which I wrote to you is much finer than I described it on the 15th instant. I inspected it again and today I am sending you a small sample carriage paid. If it suits you, I shall forward it upon receiving your reply, unless the holder sells it in the meantime. I would also have available about 2,000 kilograms of grande absinthe at 40 francs per 100 kilograms, 1,100 kilograms of hyssop at 130 francs, and 300 kilograms of petite absinthe at 180 francs. It is all from Pontarlier, first growth, from a new grower this year.","[[label: Documentary page 3]] You tell me that you do not pay the prices I quoted you; I therefore suspect that you may be receiving mixtures of herbs from different regions, because here all the large growers buy a little from everywhere, and some even buy up the entire output of all the small growers. They are all counting on a handsome speculation and claim that no merchandise will remain in the spring. Awaiting your good news concerning the sample I am sending you, I offer you, Gentlemen, my cordial greetings. C.

How did you send the invoice to Décoppet? We had a very unpleasant time on our own account in Geneva. The weather was dreadful and, what is much more distressing, we left Auguste confined to bed by an indisposition which I hope will be only temporary; the doctor says so as well. Nevertheless, we were greatly disappointed in the pleasure we had expected from this visit. Here is a sales account from Décoppet for 843.07 francs, with which you will debit him; conversely, you will credit him with 600 francs for his remittance drawn on André and Lottier in Paris, due June 8 next, which I shall send to Pernod (copy enclosed; you will indicate the […] to me), or rather I shall take it to Couvet on my next trip, which will be soon. I regret that Décoppet did not write a few days earlier; such poor lace would not have been made for him. I await the invoice for the said shipment by return mail and shall write to him in Livorno. I shall be sure to tell him that I shall not alter my terms for [Duverne], and that we shall make no shipment to him until we have again received a satisfactory sales account. His sales are proceeding slowly, so we must proceed likewise. I shall also point out that it is surprising that we still do not have the invoice for the two old [abbreviated description], most of which has been placed for approximately a year. It appears that our blonde-lace patterns are generally too light for Italy; that market requires heavily worked, very conspicuous designs, especially in the wider sizes. We should create something new at the first opportunity. I am not sending you Décoppet's letter; I shall bring it. Greetings to everyone at the bâtie, and good health to all. Aug.

I hear them laughing and having fun from my room with a cheerfulness that gives pleasure, if I were not afraid of stopping them, I would go take my part in it.

I am sorry to have caused you some anxiety, and I could have spared you all of it had I thought that my silence might occasion you any. I have firmly resolved to take no part in events whose goal or result cannot be known, and I waited until those that took place had passed to speak to you about them. Since I wrote to you everything has returned to the usual order; the government in this circumstance has convinced itself of its strength and it was not difficult for it to disperse gatherings which at first only made demonstrations and which then were able to offer some resistance when they were attacked.","[[label: Continuation of the letter]] You feel that it had to be very weak and soon annihilated, and that unarmed individuals are easily dispersed by dragoons and Cuirassiers. It is to this measure that we owe the tranquillity that has reigned since, and it could only be very effective. It has however caused the death of two individuals, and there are others who have been wounded, but I believe that the greatest number of those who compromised themselves are those who were handed over to the courts. It seems to me that their punishment can only be light, because in all this we saw mutiny rather than a real rebellion, and we will never be able to think that they had the idea of it because one does not revolt by contenting oneself with uttering cries free of subsequent enterprises and actions. That is all that has been done and you must guard yourself against believing any other account of any other facts; it would be an exaggeration and would only give you false indications of the situation in Paris and of its dispositions. We could see that they all tended towards rest, that it is moreover provided with quite numerous troops to ensure its tranquillity and that the troops were ready to maintain it.","[[label: Closing page with marginal continuation]] I am always more astonished by my mother's pretensions, and especially that she has no more regard for the position of our family. Whatever our wrongs may be, it seems to me that they were committed at an age when we could be excused for them and that they were not serious enough to deserve being disinherited by her. Since our existence touches her so little, you must not doubt that she will do everything possible to attract to herself all that she can of your fortune in order to further diminish what you reserve for yourself and what you would not want to take away from us like her. I thought that our future fate would make her reflect, and that for us she would make some sacrifices and give up tormenting you. I pity you very much for being exposed to all the horrors of a disunion which is worse than a war, and since I have felt all its consequences it has influenced all my dispositions and it afflicts me more every day. Mr Paul de Châteaudouble said that you had put yourself in the ranks to be part of the deputation to be named in our dept. He claimed that it was not men like you that they needed but that besides you would not be named and that Messrs Gasquet and Fabry would have the preference. I do not know if it is your intention and if it would please you to succeed; for me I would not want it. It seems to me that our first care is for you to occupy yourself with your affairs and not with public affairs. These will not come to your aid when for them you will have neglected your own. Your fortune well restored will alone give you more independence and more happiness than functions, and those of a conscientious deputy would not be advantageous to you. I embrace you.

As I needed an additional amount to complete a certain sum, I took the liberty of drawing on you at sight for the commissions due to me on the following shipments: No. 1004, Gay de Sussy shipment, July 23, 1867; No. 1731, V. Grenier de Cie shipment, July 21, 1867; No. 2013, shipment of 22 bales of old petite absinthe from Val-de-Travers, according to my letter of August 22, 1868; No. 1996, shipment of 24 bales of the same, according to my letter of September 10, 1868. Total weight, 6,744 kilograms; commission at 3 francs per 100 kilograms: 202.30 francs. This is the sum of the draft drawn in settlement, which I ask you to honour in the customary manner, thereby obliging me. Yesterday Mr Coradin Dubied of Boveresse offered me 700 to 800 kilograms of new petite absinthe at 65 francs per 100 kilograms at Boveresse station, packaging extra, for cash. He guarantees it to be fine. He might perhaps let it go at a lower price because he is eager to sell it at once. Those, he tells me, are approximately the going prices. I therefore think that the Dubied sisters of the same place, who have a large lot that they would retain until March if necessary, would accept the same price. I told Mr Coradin Dubied that I would communicate your reply to him within eight to ten days. I believe I am doing right to inform you of these low offered prices. Awaiting the pleasure of hearing from you, I offer you, Gentlemen, my cordial greetings. C.

You previously arranged his embarkation for America, and he is now staying at the Hôtel Américain, Calle 25 de Mayo, Buenos Aires.

Enclosed are two documents bearing Mr Haas's signature. Please submit them to the companies concerned so that his identity can be verified. I further take the liberty of relying on your credit and ask you to request that the two companies grant the passage, with payment to be made to you upon his arrival in Bordeaux. I shall arrange to","[[label: Continuation, closing and signature]] reimburse all your outlays and expenses on the parents' behalf.

To the right is my bedroom with a bed without curtains (which suits me), the black daybed from the dining room in Fleurier, the chairs ditto, my desk, a chest of drawers above which is your [illegible], then cross the drawing room you will find my dining room with a table, six straw chairs, a sideboard at the back, and as proof of human vicissitudes my clock, companion of my childhood, and which in its old age could not bear the journey, and arrived to me like a dead body keeping an imperturbable silence, which is quite disagreeable to me at this distance from the town; often I have to go and find out from my neighbours what time it is. I also have a room for my friends, my nephews and nieces, especially my godsons; from this one you don't see the lake and the Alps like from the others, but you look down the whole town, and one will be able to observe all the movements that will take place in the Jequier house when it is inhabited, which will happen sooner or later, probably too late for me to enjoy it.","[[label: Letter text - Pages 2 and 3]] For here is another year gone by, and how many have I already taken beyond the common run of men? In this one I ask myself why is it me who remains? And always my answer is, God's ways are not ours. May I enter into His views and understand them, to use the time He still gives me to spend on this earth to serve and adore Him. I do not ask Him to increase my affection for you, my dear Fritz, that would be impossible, but I ask Him to bless you in your hopes, in your enterprises, that this year, far from thinning our ranks, tightens them, that we see around us children raised in our religion and prepared for the final goal of life. My wishes extend to your wife and to your children; tell them so while giving them my most tender compliments. Announce to the former that two little baby jackets, as well as a few pairs of stockings, are waiting for an opportunity, unless you prefer to run the risks of transport for a small package, then the 30 per cent entry fee, which would make the stockings very expensive. I cannot evaluate them in bulk as Ernestine asks, for that depends on the materials supplied; there goes into the woollen ones almost 3 francs of material, then the making and the postage, everything costs. Life is more expensive here than elsewhere; I really don't know how with small incomes one can manage; and I almost envy the fate of your brother who can suffice for everything, except for the duties of friendship; mine would demand more visits on their part, and yet I know that they make as many as possible. Since the death of Mme Du Pasquier, their father and mother have even more need of them, especially in the absence of Mlle Julie. Carolinne's health does not suffer from these daily errands; she even seems better to me. The children are growing, Elisa is becoming sensible, and Jules turbulent; he would really need a little brother. Let us hope for it for the year that is going to begin. I do not know what will happen at Montet. Philippine, who spent two days at her brother's, is still so beautiful and immense in corpulence. Your sister Emelie writes to me that Jean is more and more crippled. I resign myself to it less than she does. Of the rest of the family I don't know what to tell you. My sister Vaut is a plant that can no longer grow leaves; the spring could take her away. In Italy they keep a superb silence towards me; a note announced their return under the paternal roof. Through strangers (to whom they write) I know that my sister-in-law is better, and is very afflicted by the death of her last relative, Mr Sandoz. He left three little girls and no heir to his name. God finds a thousand ways to bring down the pride of men by showing them what they are, and what their projects can do.","[[label: Letter text - Page 4 and signature]] Mine is to go and spend the 1st of January in Boudry. I cannot make up my mind to stay here in the midst of a family of strangers which would remind me much more of what I have lost than of what I have left, which would be quite enough for my happiness if my heart were not still bleeding; but the wounds that nothing closes take long to heal. Despite this I am grateful to the Supreme Being, and to the persons who do not forget me; that is to tell you, my dear Fritz, that you make me feel this sentiment. I often speak of it to Mmes Godet who say a thousand things to you. If the weather, which gives us flowers on the 25th of December, holds up, we will go in January to make a visit to Montet; it will be to see the children of the mother but not her; one must look for her up there! up there! and aspire to join her there, and to all reunite there one day. In the meantime let us see each other as often as possible; do not fail us for the summer. Let your son learn from birth that Switzerland is his homeland, and that he will always find there hearts disposed to love him. Farewell, my dear Fritz. If you see Mme Emma, remember me to her, and may your old aunt always have a place in yours; it is due to her very tender attachment. the 25th of December S. A. Perrin.

I had consequently engaged a substitute who was to be present on the 27th of February last at the revision council, to have him accepted. Unfortunately this man broke his word to me. I expected that there would be a new council to present another one. At the prefecture they have just told my son that there would be no more, & that one could only get a substitute at the Corps, & even then with difficulty. He observed that here we did not have the same facility as in Paris; for recently the Minister of War gave notice that the young men who had had the intention of getting a substitute & who had not been able to until then still had a new delay until the 12th inst. that they announced the days of the revision council, but without saying & designating the last one, past which one could no longer get a substitute. He therefore had reason to hope for a new one, especially after the Minister's notice. There are several persons in the same case. I would therefore be infinitely obliged to you to solicit from the Minister to obtain that my son Benjamin Arnaud, designated under no. 30 (4th Canton of Nantes of the Class of 1817), be authorised to have his substitute accepted at the Corps of the legion of the Loire-Inférieure in Nantes, & that he be granted the faculty & the necessary time to find a substitute in case of refusal of the first.","[[label: Letter text - Page 2 and signature]] As they told my son that on the 23rd inst. he would be incorporated, I beg you to do your utmost so that the Minister authorises him to stay at my home until he has provided a man in his place.

Excuse me for all the trouble I am going to cause you. I have the honour to greet you with distinguished consideration. Widow Jacq. Arnaud. P.S. Just now I have just seen a mayor of our surroundings, who told me indeed that there had been a Ministerial notice to grant a new delay to the young men. But that they had not been made aware of it. I am sorry that our prefect did not solicit from the minister a last revision council expressly announced. If that had taken place, my son and several others would not find themselves in the same case. But I hope that through your intermediation, a new delay will be granted, and that the same facilities will be given for the substitutes. It is good to observe to you that they did not request extensions of time from the council and that the law says that one can be granted upon the arrival of the young soldier.

As prices must further advance, they are in no hurry to settle with me for the remaining 50 half Pipes ex James Gray, but am in hopes to see this dependency closed before long. The information about Mr Hugh Fraser, obtained indirect, fully con firms what I already said on the 16 Sepr. He is consider'd a very honorable and trustworthy merchant, well suited for the purpose you require, but of very limited means. The great difficulty in the Canadian trade is to obtain a ready settlement on arrival of Goods order'd, as a Credit of 3 to 4 Mths is always expected, which involves frequently a considerable risk, for which a simple charge for Interest is a very unadequate remuneration. The large importers there are not easily brought to offend their correspondents in England, through whom they obtain such a variety of articles bought by them on liberal terms, and in consequence thereof prefer to give them orders for other Goods on which their London friends enjoy a liberal Commission. Therefore only the second class of dealers can be induced to give direct orders for Brandies, who, as I have said, expect a Credit on arrival. I may have taken not quite a right view of this case, but cannot help to remark that should Mr Fraser tapp the retail trade, by taking orders for a few half Pipes each, the hope to secure any respectable wholesale dealer must be very slight. The present high prices must necessarily check the Consumption in Canada as well as elsewhere. Mr Siqueira returned from Europa by the America p Liverpool on the 30 Sepr but anxious to reach his home in Philadelphia, I had very little conversation with him on business matters. He feels extremely grateful for your friendly attentions to him whilst with you. His report about the total failure of the Vintage in Madeira, and elsewhere, is really distressing, and leads me to apprehend that the trade in Wines and Spirits is in danger of annihilation for some years to come. It is always best to hope for better things,","[[label: Letter text, conclusion]] but I must confess the future looks extremely gloomy, and since the disease in the Vines has become so very general, it is not likely that it will disappear all at once. The value of all the Wines and Brandies still left must rise in proportion to their encreasing scarcity, so that ere long they will rank among luxuries, too high in prices to continue as a beverage. Mess Hennessy already talk of f 24 p Velt, and refuse every engagement unless considerably above f 20.40. There is scarcely any doubt that your prices will reach the above figure before the end of the year. This would be equal to $ 5.10 p Gallon here. At present the $ 4.50, command only from $ 4.30 a 50, at which the sales are extremely small. It appears that Mess G. Heidsieck & Sons still are indebted to you about f 18000, for which they occasionally express some desire to remit through me, but the Exchange seems always to be too high for them. The above contains the last Invoice they had, p Felicia, besides a Balance of a preceding one. I am surprised that people so full of should allow this amount to be left so long unpaid. They have only a few Casks of your Brandy unsold, but purchased a round parcel lately of Marett's Brandy, on which they are likely to make a large profit. I did not expect that they would touch any Brandies but yours, but as they talk of quitting the trade should the 'Maine Liquor Law' be enacted, we are likely to have nothing further from them. There are several parcels of P. Cale afloat, which holders are anxious to realize, and do sell at reduced prices. Mr Hilger and Mr Pender supplied themselves through these channels, afraid of importing Brandies at present high and uncertain prices. I remain with esteem, Dear Sirs Yours faithfully John A. F. Rachau."],"translation_segments":["[[label: Address panel]] p Arabia Messieurs Otard Dupuy & Co Cognac Charente France via Paris","[[label: Letter text, first page]] Messrs Otard Dupuy & Co Cognac New York 3d October 1854 Dear Sirs I had this pleasure last on the 29th Ulto & I advised enclosing in four firsts of Exchang f 10000 ~ and f 15642 27/ of which the seconds are annexed.

The large importers there are not easily brought to offend their correspondents in England, through whom they obtain such a variety of articles bought by them on liberal terms, and in consequence thereof prefer to give them orders for other Goods on which their London friends enjoy a liberal Commission. Therefore only the second class of dealers can be induced to give direct orders for Brandies, who, as I have said, expect a Credit on arrival. I may have taken not quite a right view of this case, but cannot help to remark that should Mr Fraser tapp the retail trade, by taking orders for a few half Pipes each, the hope to secure any respectable wholesale dealer must be very slight. The present high prices must necessarily check the Consumption in Canada as well as elsewhere. Mr Siqueira returned from Europa by the America p Liverpool on the 30 Sepr but anxious to reach his home in Philadelphia, I had very little conversation with him on business matters. He feels extremely grateful for your friendly attentions to him whilst with you. His report about the total failure of the Vintage in Madeira, and elsewhere, is really distressing, and leads me to apprehend that the trade in Wines and Spirits is in danger of annihilation for some years to come. It is always best to hope for better things,","[[label: Letter text, conclusion]] but I must confess the future looks extremely gloomy, and since the disease in the Vines has become so very general, it is not likely that it will disappear all at once. The value of all the Wines and Brandies still left must rise in proportion to their encreasing scarcity, so that ere long they will rank among luxuries, too high in prices to continue as a beverage. Mess Hennessy already talk of f 24 p Velt, and refuse every engagement unless considerably above f 20.40. There is scarcely any doubt that your prices will reach the above figure before the end of the year. This would be equal to $ 5.10 p Gallon here. At present the $ 4.50, command only from $ 4.30 a 50, at which the sales are extremely small. It appears that Mess G. Heidsieck & Sons still are indebted to you about f 18000, for which they occasionally express some desire to remit through me, but the Exchange seems always to be too high for them. The above contains the last Invoice they had, p Felicia, besides a Balance of a preceding one. I am surprised that people so full of should allow this amount to be left so long unpaid. They have only a few Casks of your Brandy unsold, but purchased a round parcel lately of Marett's Brandy, on which they are likely to make a large profit. I did not expect that they would touch any Brandies but yours, but as they talk of quitting the trade should the 'Maine Liquor Law' be enacted, we are likely to have nothing further from them. There are several parcels of P. Cale afloat, which holders are anxious to realize, and do sell at reduced prices. Mr Hilger and Mr Pender supplied themselves through these channels, afraid of importing Brandies at present high and uncertain prices. I remain with esteem, Dear Sirs Yours faithfully John A. F. Rachau."],"research_statuses":["Every complete capture, documentary role, address panel, date, names, commercial evidence and postal evidence was directly checked against the authoritative images; unresolved readings remain explicitly marked.

Je regrette seulement qu'elles n'aient pas été données plus tôt, ce qui aurait évité à vos agents la position équivoque où ils étaient en offrant vos Eaux de Vie avec des rapports incorrects, et à moi le risque que j'ai couru de me charger non seulement de celles offertes par vos agents, mais aussi de celles offertes par la maison anglaise. Les affaires continuent sans activité sur notre place il y a encore q.ques demandes pour les E. de Vie de la Rochelle, celles de Cognac sont entièrement délaissées. Veuillez prendre note, Messieurs, que d'après votre lettre du 8 Avril, je vous ai débités du coulage par le Carver de la manière suivante: Montant du coulage $326.90 Paiemts. de la Cie d'Ass. 150.— suivant ma lettre 18 Mars. $176.90 @ 5.18 3/4 = fcs. 917.66"],"translation_segments":["[[label: Address panel]] Steamer Niagara for Liverpool via Boston Messrs. Otard Dupuy & Co Cognac France.","[[label: Letter text page 2]] Steamer Niagara New York September 9, 1856. Messrs. Otard Dupuy & Co Cognac. Gentlemen I have the honor to confirm my letter of September 2, a copy of which is opposite, and to acknowledge receipt of yours of August 19. I see with pleasure that the weather was entirely favorable to your vines and that the alcoholic quality of the wines would be greatly improved by it. — As for old brandies, they were becoming more and more rare and you even foresaw the moment when you would be obliged to refuse orders. The observation in my letter of July 29, that your brand had fallen into disrepute, arose from the fact that your brandies were offered on all sides at prices much lower than those held and obtained for other brands of Cognac, among others for that of Hennessy, which I do not remember ever having seen previously. Regarding the invoices that you will have to send me for the loading of the Darien, I come to ask you to change their wording a little, and if you have already addressed them to me, which is probable, to send me new ones with the change that I desire. As there is some hope of stopping the levying of customs duties on the Cognac charges instead","[[label: Letter text page 3]] of the loading, charges which I am led to believe are 35 centimes per velte, I will ask you to deduct these 35 centimes from the price of the velte, and to add them afterwards for transport charges at the bottom of the invoice, as moreover you do, I think, for other houses. — It is a formality that I ask you to observe for all the shipments that you will make to me in the future. I have the honor to salute you. V. Barsalou","[[label: Letter text page 4]] Duplicate Steamer Africa New York September 2, 1856. Messrs. Otard Dupuy & Co. Cognac. Gentlemen. Since my letter of August 6, I have had the honor of receiving yours of July 23 & 30, August 5 & 12, and thank you for the information you give me on the state of your harvests and the situation of your market. You remit to me invoice and bill of lading for 38 half-pipes loaded on board the Jehossee in fcs. 28,454.86 and you announce to me that you are to load on the ship Darien my order of July 25 of 16/2 and 4/4. You thought that this ship would leave La Rochelle on August 25 but I learned on the contrary that it had great difficulty in finding its freight, and that in all probability, its departure would be much delayed; you will therefore doubtless have been in time to add to it my second order of August 6 of 26/2 and 2/4. Please take note that I have remitted to Mr. Lewis for your account: fcs. 20,000. — on August 26 for which you will have credited me. I thank you for the explanations that you were kind enough to give me regarding the brandies loaded on the Damon. I only regret that they were not given earlier, which would have spared your agents the equivocal position in which they were by offering your brandies with incorrect reports, and me the risk that I ran of taking charge not only of those offered by your agents, but also of those offered by the English house. Business continues without activity on our market there are still a few requests for La Rochelle brandies those of Cognac are entirely neglected. Please take note, Gentlemen, that according to your letter of April 8, I have debited you for the leakage by the Carver in the following manner: Amount of the leakage $326.90 Payments from the Ins. Co. 150.— according to my letter March 18. $176.90 @ 5.18 3/4 = fcs. 917.66"],"research_statuses":["Every complete capture, documentary role, address panel, date, names, commercial evidence and postal evidence was directly checked against the authoritative images; unresolved readings remain explicitly marked.

I think, dear godmother, that you will be very surprised, as well as my cousin Deyson, when you receive my letter, yes I think it must surprise you very much this letter, for until now I have never written to you, if I have not done so I have at least always thought of you all and I have never written home without asking for your dear news. My heart would be very ungrateful if it forgot for a single moment the gratitude I owe to you both, yes I dare say it without flattery if the Supreme Being were to make me unfortunate enough to take my dear father from this world as well as my mother, the relatives and friends I would choose to find consolation and good advice would be you two. I will tell you that next year in the month of May I believe I will be counted among the Captains, I believe it so strongly that it seems to me I will be very unhappy if I were refused for I dare say I will believe myself capable of being able to command a ship because I have a taste for my profession, and the Commander of the division has promised to give me a leave of a month and a half if I were accepted as captain.","[[label: Letter text page 3]] I find myself in in need at the moment that I am writing this letter to you and I will beg you to please lend me about 50 francs while waiting for my dear father to return from his voyage the money I am asking you for will be will be returned to you when I am back home or after having made a commercial voyage. I swear it to you on the faith of Constantin, I think dear godmother that I will not need to make you to make you all these promises to well persuade you that the money you will lend me will be returned to you one day and no later than my return from the service, I will beg you as a favour to please keep the secret as well as my cousin Deyson and not to open your mouth about it to anyone.. no more to my father than to my mother For if some ideas unknown to me could make you presume that it is to make bad use of it and that your intentions would be to consult someone I beg you not to send me any. But whatever the case send me an answer to my letter to have the pleasure of knowing your news as well as that of my little cousin... I finish by embracing you all a thousand times from the heart while waiting for the happy day so much desired by me when I will be able to shower you with blessings and return to you the money you will have lent me. Constantin Dear Cousin I address these two lines to you who have always spoken to me like a second brother to beg you to believe that if I ask godmother for this money it is not to make bad use of it but to serve my needs. I earn 11 francs a month in the shore service if I were on a boat I would earn 30 francs then I would not need to ask you for the little money I am asking you for because my pay would be enough for me I am obliged to pay an arithmetic teacher out of my 11 francs that I earn per month","[[label: Letter text page 4]] so think how much must be left for me.. I will not speak to you of the misery one experiences in the service nor of the bad food they give us every day you are a man able to judge how badly off one can be in the service especially in a barracks where there are 600 men. I will not tell you any more concerning the service there would be too much to say to be able to describe it to you properly.

Of this you will have to debit my Commission Acct with f 1936.48 being 1 p c on the total amount; though this is in fact about 10 p c more than I ought to bear of it, in virtue of my letter 2 July 1850, but as it will prove a tedious task to ascertain the amount as proposed, I prefer the present mode of settlement, as it closes this dependency at once. I enclose their receipt for said F 6777.67. Mr Barsalou will be entitled to 3 1/2 p c on f 211746.78, but as his bookkeeper prefers awaiting your statement, this matter must stand open.

I note your remarks on the unpropitious weather you have lately experienced, but they have no influence on our market. Prices continue as low as before, and the dealers complain of unprofitable sales. The only good feature is that supplies are lessening, late arrivals bringing mostly Claret &c.

Many people, largely en gaged in the California trade, are likely to be hard pressed.

Of this you will have to debit my Commission Acct with f 1936.48 being 1 p c on the total amount; though this is in fact about 10 p c more than I ought to bear of it, in virtue of my letter 2 July 1850, but as it will prove a tedious task to ascertain the amount as proposed, I prefer the present mode of settlement, as it closes this dependency at once. I enclose their receipt for said F 6777.67. Mr Barsalou will be entitled to 3 1/2 p c on f 211746.78, but as his bookkeeper prefers awaiting your statement, this matter must stand open. From appearances, it seems likely","[[label: Letter text page 4]] that he will endeavour to do as well this year, but I do not expect that Messrs Renauld & François will come to it, considering that the large shipment p Lelia is already not included in the above allowance, and having 200 1/2 Pipes unsold, besides the former. Mr Caswell having also 100 1/2 Pipes of your Brandy less is not at all as yet disposed to take the parcel p Farewell on your terms. As he is likely to have his stock considerably reduced by the time the Brandies p Farewell can arrive, I prefer keeping this in suspense, in hopes to lessen his claims The 'Aerian' is not in yet, and makes a long trip of it, but the winds must have prevailed strongly from the west ward, as an American Sloop of War arrived here yesterday in 42 days from Lisbon. I note your remarks on the unpropitious weather you have lately experienced, but they have no influence on our market. Prices continue as low as before, and the dealers complain of unprofitable sales. The only good feature is that supplies are lessening, late arrivals bringing mostly Claret &c. The stringency of the money market is unabated, and money worth about 1 p c p month, as our Banks discount very sparingly. Many people, largely en gaged in the California trade, are likely to be hard pressed. In consequence of Mrs Rachau's indisposition, I have been compelled to defer my journey to Canada for a week or two, till she is able to go with me. I send by the 'Niagara', to day, my policy of Life Insurance to my friend Mr Henry Strong in London, for the purpose"],"research_statuses":["Every complete capture, documentary role, address panel, date, names, commercial evidence and postal evidence was directly checked against the authoritative images; unresolved readings remain explicitly marked.

Il n'y a absolument que les Eauxdevies qui pourroient donner lieu a des Liaisons utiles entre nous, c'est a peu pres la seule Branche de mon Commerce en Commission, quant aux autres Denrées de votre Cru propres pour la Marine, les Negocians de Rochefort doivent les tirer directement et ma Position dans les Terres a onze lieues de ce Port, me mettroient hors d'Etat de lutter avec eux par les frais extraordinaires qu'elles m'occasionroient, d'ailleurs je ne connois rien a cette Partie. Je vois, Messieurs, que vous croyes a une Baisse sur vos Eauxdevies et ce qui me surprend c'est qu'elles soient au même Prix a Bayonne qu'au Mont de marsan, ce ne peut etre qu'une affaire de Circonstance, puisqu'on les recoit de la et qu'il y a 7 a 8.c de frais par Veltes. vous me cottés les Eauxdevies en Libres Tournois, il me semble qu'on les cotte en francs depuis quelque Tems veillés me dire la Raison de cette Difference, sans doute que comme icy on la paye en suires aux Proprietaires et que la difficulté de s'en procurer pour des francs avec quelque Benefice force de les porter en francs. Il ne s'est presqu'vendu (mon audernier) autour de Cognac le 29 du passé, a 355 a 360 f. q 27 Veltes. Il n'y a que Ceux qui se trouvent forcés de vendre qui cherchent des acheteurs a ces Prix, la Masse de nos Proprietaires se tiendront a 380. mais le nombre des Premiers devient plus grand de Jour en Jour et on eut pu achettér aux premiers Prix 150 a 200 Tiercons. Il est survenu une demande de 300 Tiercons de plus, mais je doute que cela fasse sensation de maniere a Cognac, les Magasins etant encore tres unis. J'ai conservé de tres vieilles Eauxdevie premiere qualité de Cognac de 40, 50 & 60 ans. J'en ai 400 Veltes de la Recolte de l'année 1704. par leur grand age, ces Eauxdevies sont devenues la Liqueur la plus Saine & la plus rare qui existest si vous aviés a Bayonne ou dans vos Lieux quelques amateurs, je vous en enverrois un Essai, telle quantité que vous voudries pour la faire connoitre desirant m'en defaire en Tiercons a 30, 35, 38 et 42 francs la Velte la seulement, la derniere en Bouteilles a 6 f. le Verre seulement compris. je vous salue de Coeur [signature: Boubat Broussard?]"],"translation_segments":["[[label: Address panel]] Messieurs Bernard Domenger & Co. Mugron Department of Landes","[[label: Letter text - Page 1]] Messrs Bernard Domenger & Co., Mugron Pons (Charente-Inférieure), 8 Germinal, Year 10 [March 29, 1802] Gentlemen, I have had the honour of receiving your letter of the 29th of last month. I am pleased to see that you approve the observations I made concerning the compensation due to me for my journey. I consider it very prudent on your part not to have instructed the Bremen merchants to set it themselves; this is the safest way of protecting us both from comments on their part, which are always unpleasant in such a matter. The new details you provide about this affair explain to me the refusal of Messrs Hegaray Brothers, who retain their establishment in La Rochelle even though the head of the firm has gone to establish himself in Bordeaux with Messrs Gramont & Co. Indeed, honourable merchants cannot properly call into question the honesty of a neighbour who, moreover, enjoys a good reputation. That could only be done by a man of law who has no such restraint to observe. I therefore confess, Gentlemen, that my wish to be of service would not outweigh the unpleasantness of undertaking such a mission. I would think poorly of anyone who undertook it against me, and consequently I cannot undertake it against another. When I agreed to intervene in this matter, it was solely because you had told me that Mr Wilkens himself wished to see it settled and offered to produce his accounts. This implied authority to examine them and to make observations if they called for any—that is, to present myself as an intermediary and conciliator between him and the interested parties, with authority to settle the matter as I would for myself. If I am authorised to proceed in this way, I shall do so zealously and gladly for the interests entrusted to me. But if the object is to reopen expenses already allowed and to investigate an abuse of authority and trust, I declare, Gentlemen, that I would perform such a mission badly; in other words, I shall not undertake it. It was even part of my plan to write directly to Mr Wilkens on this subject, and I considered this courteous step likely to produce a satisfactory result more quickly for all parties. I have not yet done so because I did not consider myself authorised. Nor have I written to Mr Béraud; for his part, he has not yet written to me, although you asked him to provide more precise information about the nature of this affair. I think","[[label: Letter text - Page 2]] it prudent, both for you and for me, to await the reply of your friends in Bremen concerning the powers to be entrusted to me and the course to be followed, which can only be that of a conciliator. I thank you for the details you give me about the nature of your trade. Brandy is the only commodity that could give rise to useful business relations between us; it is almost the only branch of my commission trade. As for the other products of your region suitable for the Navy, the merchants of Rochefort must obtain them directly. My location inland, eleven leagues from that port, would prevent me from competing with them because of the extraordinary costs I would incur; besides, I know nothing about that branch. I see, Gentlemen, that you expect a fall in the price of your brandies. What surprises me is that they should be at the same price in Bayonne as in Mont-de-Marsan. This can only be a temporary circumstance, since they are received from there and there are seven to eight centimes in costs per velte. You quote the brandies to me in livres tournois; it seems to me that for some time they have been quoted in francs. Please tell me the reason for this difference. No doubt, as here they are paid to the producers in [livres?], the difficulty of procuring them in francs with any profit makes it necessary to convert the prices into francs. Almost no brandy was sold around Cognac on the 29th of last month at 355 to 360 francs per 27 veltes. Only those who are forced to sell seek buyers at those prices; the majority of our proprietors will hold out for 380. But the number of forced sellers is increasing from day to day, and 150 to 200 tierçons could have been bought at the lower prices. An additional demand for 300 tierçons has arisen, but I doubt that this will make much impression at Cognac, the warehouses still being very well stocked. I have preserved some very old, first-quality Cognac brandies aged forty, fifty and sixty years. I have 400 veltes from the harvest of 1704. Through their great age, these brandies have become the healthiest and rarest liquor in existence. If you had any connoisseurs in Bayonne or your surrounding area, I would send you a sample—whatever quantity you wished—in order to make them known. I wish to dispose of them by the tierçon at 30, 35, 38 and 42 francs per velte respectively; the last is also available in bottles at 6 francs, the glass included. I greet you cordially.

He asks me to express to you the gratitude and affection he feels for you and your delightful family. He says he has sent money to Mr Péquillan and is waiting for him to acknowledge receipt before sending more. You can see from this that he is not in financial difficulty. He told me that his work provides him with a comfortable living, that he is very busy, and that he has just drawn in pencil the portrait of a seventeen-year-old young woman of the greatest beauty and possessing a colossal fortune. You can see that she is not for him. Nor does that beautiful face","[[label: Letter text - Page 2]] console him for being far from his homeland, his relatives and his friends. His letter makes me fear that he may soon be afflicted by homesickness. Nevertheless, he says that he is very well, which makes me hope that his natural cheerfulness will prevail over his melancholy thoughts. I am replying to him today and saying many things to him on your behalf. I am very sorry that my accident prevented Madame Mathieu from seeing you at the Niort fair. In this event—which was quite serious for me, since I can scarcely walk and shall count myself very fortunate if I am free of it within two months—I had expected some mark of friendship from Madame Jarry or from a young lady named Modeste, to whom I had written. But the former has sworn not to write to the girl, whose only fault toward her is that she cannot manage her husband, while the latter sent me a belated letter in which she pleasantly joked","[[label: Letter text - Page 3]] about my clumsiness in allowing myself to fall just as Mr Mathieu was leaving. I forgive Mademoiselle Modeste a little frivolity on account of her age, but I confess that I do not know what judgement to make of Madame Jarry’s conduct. The air of Saint-Symphorien must deprive everyone who breathes it of every kind of feeling. The air of Champdeniers is not like that, and if all men had hearts as good as Modeste’s father, we would soon see the Golden Age return. Please accept, and convey to your whole family, my sentiments of esteem and friendship. Adolphe, who is becoming very lazy, embraces his godfather.

You will understand how happy we are to see your wishes and ours fulfilled. Like you, we felt the need for an explanation which, all things considered, could only turn to your advantage—an advantage that your conduct and the force of circumstances were bound to bring about. May God grant you, my dear children, the grace to remain in good harmony; without that, there can be no happy outcome. As for the loss of Mr L....., you should easily console yourself, for according to what you have often told me, he brought the firm more loss than profit; therefore, no regrets. I think Victor, without tiring himself excessively, could very well make two or three trips a year to look after the clientele in Paris and its surroundings. As for the travelling salesman from Brittany, everything conspired to prevent him from accomplishing anything—his beginning, and Armand having gone before him. I think your brother will dismiss him and try to find another, which is not easy. As you tell me, my good son, we must forget the whole past and forgive those who caused all","[[label: Letter text - Page 2; address panel repeated within full-sheet capture]] the unpleasantness you experienced.

Since the closing of our market has not encouraged me to send you new orders, the price of your brand having been poorly maintained, offered to the highest bidder at auction and sold from f110 to 120 Omin. However, to express the new recipe once it is good, I cannot, I am going to take it upon myself to my extreme by the return of the Brig Caucasian, Capt. Sprague, that I will ship on October 4 or 5 for Bordeaux 25 Demi-pipes of your brandies, or you will be reimbursed for their amount at Messrs C. Barralon & son in Bordeaux in your draft at three days' sight which will be returned to you upon the ship's arrival. I hope for an open policy for the insurance. I will arrange for the Don to do as for the brandies that you are shipping to my address. However, goods under such policies cannot be insured until the moment the bill of lading on board confirms the loading on board the ship, and you run these risks from Cognac to Bordeaux. I have, however, passed to your credit f.87-50c for the insurance on your last shipment, which you can add to the invoice for my order of today. I will also ask you to have the 25 casks loaded under the VB mark and to assort them as follows: 20 Demi-pipes 4th proof, ordinary color for the brandies of this house, and 5 Demi-pipes 3rd proof, old, 2 to 3 years, less dark color.

Ci-contre Duplicata de l'ordre de Messrs Ives Beecher & Co presque tous nos amis ne sont pas en ville et les affaires sont fort calmes; je m'attends toutefois à peu d'ordres pour le moment, par suite de la prime élevée de l'or et du droit prohibitif. Ce droit élevé a donné sujet à de la fraude et il y a plusieurs maisons qui ont fraudé le gouvernement en s'entendant avec des officiers du Gouvernement. la maison Geo.

Enclosed is a duplicate of the order from Messrs Ives Beecher & Co. Almost all our friends are out of town and business is very quiet; I expect, however, few orders for the moment, owing to the high premium on gold and the prohibitive duty. This high duty has given rise to fraud and there are several houses that have defrauded the government by colluding with Government officers. The house of Geo. Day and Co is said to have sold the brandies without paying duties and exported the empty casks to foreign countries. If the fraud has been going on for 3 years, there is a nice profit of 30 francs per velte!!

Besides, there is only one way to change this system, which is to return to the tariff of 1859. I have carefully examined your account current, it is correct except, as I wrote to you, this question of compound interests, to prompt interest on interest before I can turn around and to you only give me simple interest. You forgot to credit my account in your account with the interests due to Messrs Ives Beecher & Co value 28 January 1867, namely fs 358.65. and to credit me with the interest on my commission as you have always done up to this day. I also had to pay to the internal revenue of the United States for the right to sell brandies for your house up to this day fs 2,131.92 and paid for brokerages of orders, namely fs 1900.

Cognac Gentlemen, Since the preceding we have been in receipt of your esteemed favor of the 28th Ulto, covering shipping papers for Brandies, & your a/c Curt. to the end of the year: this document has been found correct and entered in conformity. We note that there was a doubt as to the exact number of casks on board the \"Frances Lord\" now in; she will be discharged in a few days when it will be ascertained. The \"Alabama\" & \"Gazelle\" have also arrived: the Brandy by the first has been recd. in good order - the latter vessel is now discharging. The simultaneous arrival of several vessels with Brandies has rendered sales difficult, and the demand for your & other Cognac Brandies, quite contrary to our expectations, is unusually small for the season; - the temperance feeling undoubtedly naturally checks the consumption of all spirituous liquors, and in some of the States the dealing in them has been almost entirely abandoned. Unfortunately the risk of Fire Insurance on goods stored in the public Warehouses being at onerous rates, & other objections are so great as to compel Importers to enter everything for consumption thereby adding to the loss of interest & losing the chance of sales for Export - indeed thus far we have been unable to obtain insurance on goods in the principal Warehouse. - Besides these embarassments the Duties, by a recent order from Washington, are paid on the full Invoice Cost, except in cases where the casks show extra leakage from damage or accident on board the vessel. - The export of Breadstuffs is temporarily suspended from the want","[[label: Documentary page 3]] want of them here; - the canals will however soon be opened when considerable supplies from the interior may be looked for, tho' not sufficient to fill the unusual large Tonnage in port. - this cessation of exports, together with the large arrivals of specie has advanced Foreign Exchanges 2 @ 4 % - we think they will again somewhat decline, especially francs, when we shall reimburse you for your last Invoices. We are Gentlemen, Very Truly, Your Obt Servts Francs 5.35 pr Dollar Sterling 6 1/2 @ 7 %. May 31st 1847 Gentlemen, We confirm the preceding and since hold your esteemed favors of the 15 & 28 Ulto, contents of which have had the requisite attention, and the items for our respec- tive accounts been passed in accordance. The Brandies by the \"Frances Lord\" turned out according to your Invoice. - This article has continued in limited demand since we last wrote, and prices of all descrip- tions have given way, both on account of the increase of stocks & the expectation of lower prices in France, already advised as having taken place at Bordeaux &c. - In the expectation that sterling will yield something better than Francs, we forward by this conveyance, and per steamer \"Washington\" hence, to Messrs. Baring Brothers Co Liverpool, for procural of acceptance, the 1st & 2d of the enclosed Bill (the 3d) for £ stg 1,000, as at foot. - We ask said Gentlemen to advise you of its acceptance, & to retain the Bills for the holder of the third, or","[[label: Documentary page 4]] as you may request.

Cognac Gentlemen, Since the preceding we have been in receipt of your esteemed favor of the 28th Ulto, covering shipping papers for Brandies, & your a/c Curt. to the end of the year: this document has been found correct and entered in conformity. We note that there was a doubt as to the exact number of casks on board the \"Frances Lord\" now in; she will be discharged in a few days when it will be ascertained. The \"Alabama\" & \"Gazelle\" have also arrived: the Brandy by the first has been recd. in good order - the latter vessel is now discharging. The simultaneous arrival of several vessels with Brandies has rendered sales difficult, and the demand for your & other Cognac Brandies, quite contrary to our expectations, is unusually small for the season; - the temperance feeling undoubtedly naturally checks the consumption of all spirituous liquors, and in some of the States the dealing in them has been almost entirely abandoned. Unfortunately the risk of Fire Insurance on goods stored in the public Warehouses being at onerous rates, & other objections are so great as to compel Importers to enter everything for consumption thereby adding to the loss of interest & losing the chance of sales for Export - indeed thus far we have been unable to obtain insurance on goods in the principal Warehouse. - Besides these embarassments the Duties, by a recent order from Washington, are paid on the full Invoice Cost, except in cases where the casks show extra leakage from damage or accident on board the vessel. - The export of Breadstuffs is temporarily suspended from the want","[[label: Documentary page 3]] want of them here; - the canals will however soon be opened when considerable supplies from the interior may be looked for, tho' not sufficient to fill the unusual large Tonnage in port. - this cessation of exports, together with the large arrivals of specie has advanced Foreign Exchanges 2 @ 4 % - we think they will again somewhat decline, especially francs, when we shall reimburse you for your last Invoices. We are Gentlemen, Very Truly, Your Obt Servts Francs 5.35 pr Dollar Sterling 6 1/2 @ 7 %. May 31st 1847 Gentlemen, We confirm the preceding and since hold your esteemed favors of the 15 & 28 Ulto, contents of which have had the requisite attention, and the items for our respec- tive accounts been passed in accordance. The Brandies by the \"Frances Lord\" turned out according to your Invoice. - This article has continued in limited demand since we last wrote, and prices of all descrip- tions have given way, both on account of the increase of stocks & the expectation of lower prices in France, already advised as having taken place at Bordeaux &c. - In the expectation that sterling will yield something better than Francs, we forward by this conveyance, and per steamer \"Washington\" hence, to Messrs. Baring Brothers Co Liverpool, for procural of acceptance, the 1st & 2d of the enclosed Bill (the 3d) for £ stg 1,000, as at foot. - We ask said Gentlemen to advise you of its acceptance, & to retain the Bills for the holder of the third, or","[[label: Documentary page 4]] as you may request.

We regret that circumstances have not encouraged us to give you orders; but we have always found for a year, as a result of the continuous rise, to buy locally more below your prices. Thus we were able three weeks ago to still buy some of your 1855 for $5.50 which as you see is well below parity with you. Our great rise will prevent us from feeling much here the good effects that the tariff reduction would have had in other circumstances, so we do not share the opinion that business in liquids will be brilliant after July 1st. Besides, we do not attribute to the upcoming change in the tariff all the sluggishness of business; for the very goods that will not be affected by this change are as calm as the others. The true cause of the inaction is the bad financial situation of the West, our great consumer. The speculations in land for several years have absorbed everyone's income; the people the","[[label: Documentary page 3]] least rich have buried there the capital that was to serve their business, hence a great difficulty, delays in payments to the houses of the Atlantic, which are little desirous of giving new credits, and consequently buy not or little. We believe that such is the true cause of the bad state of business, and we do not think we will see after July 1st the prodigies of activity that are too generally expected. We would not want you to take the trouble to write to us, especially at a time when we do not see our way to giving you orders; but we would be very obliged if you would kindly send us regularly your circular either directly, or through the intermediary of Messrs Ch.

My dear Saturnin, I have your letter of 25 August. Madame Bormeau has also written to Yvot so that he might do something; you might think that to encourage him she could have told him that you would do a fifth, but what you are far from expecting is that she sent your letter to Yvot. It is abominable. Two sentences of your letter did not escape Yvot. I share his dissatisfaction in that you wrote that I was having trouble supporting myself. Massias told me that it was his women who were pressing him to withdraw from me what is his. Yvot has conceived alarm, and you know that I can only proceed through him; you are very imprudent, and Madame Bormeau has a very black soul to seek to embitter you further. It is possible that Yvot will do something, but on the express condition that my nephew will not be raised under the influence of priests, and he will be right to do so. You have not been ignorant of the past, and what must encourage him to do so is what I have just learned this instant: my nephew goes every evening to the parish priest's to learn to sing. It is he who fanaticised our niece Gabrielle. I am angry about it.","[[label: Documentary page 3]] Fanny replied to Madame B. that she could do nothing; may that completely open your eyes. There was a time when education in the seminaries was as good as elsewhere, but then, the priests were not what they have become. I hate them. I have not tasted your Champagne wine, and I have not seen Massias again, I can tell you nothing about it. - I will see Mr Corelieux and will encourage him to have some brought when the heat has passed. If you see Mr Jay, try to make him talk. Ask him if he would take my son, whom I have put to the production batch and who knows it. La Rochelle is no longer pleasant to me.

We have never thought it necessary to make any observa tions direct to you as we expected Mr L'Eachard would al ways make you aware of our advantages or disadvan tages, which operate in the delay or speediness of our Re= mittances, but as we perceive that you express yourselves rather strongly we think it necessary to make some remarks. In the first place we do not do business with your capital. We are when we settle for your brandy we always have a large quantity left & we are obliged to keep in the Custom House a large stock.

Now at the present time we owe you about $3500 for which you have not got security, we owed you at one time $9000. We gave Mr L'Eachard some time ago our note with a good endorser for $4800 due the 30th proximo and he holds in his possession bills of Lading for the Div. Homme to the amount of about $4000. Now, so that we have set= tled for all we hold we have any control of, yet we have not before said anything about the disadvantages of getting the Brandy by the Div. Homme so late, and shipped by you in Bordeaux after the time we advised and against your positive instructions; we had to receive also, that some casks lost 10 and 15 gallons, nearly all the packages very badly stained and damaged.

It is a difficult question to resolve and I do not wish in any way to have the responsibility for it, as a result of the variation of the exchange I am going to send about 550 cases which I still have left to sell for my account to Messrs Gillespie of Montreal, asking them to make the remittances to you, as and when the sales are made. Evidently the trade in cases is not current in this country.","[[label: Documentary page 3]] I hasten to remit to you a draft at 10 days sight for 5,000.- for the account of our friend Barsalou and with which please credit me.

The loan is no longer possible, there is therefore only the circulation of paper money which has a chance of success; this measure will have the effect of making relations between Europe and America less and less possible, given that importation will become an impossibility.

On s'est beaucoup occupé cette semaine de la visite de notre Ambassadeur à Richemond; les uns y ont vu une question de tabac, mais je crois que le Ministre de France doit y être envoyé pour des questions plus graves que celles d'une affaire de tabac, et je ne serai pas étonné qu'il engageât Jefferson Davis à abandonner la partie dans le cas de la chute de Yorktown et de Richemond. Ces conseils seront-ils écoutés? je ne le crois pas, car ce ne sera qu'après une marche régulière et un succès complet que le gouvernement de Washington pourra reconquérir et pacifier le Sud.

All the information that you will give me on this subject will always be well appreciated and coming from your house, they have a value which increases their price.

There has been much concern this week about the visit of our Ambassador to Richmond; some saw in it a question of tobacco, but I believe that the Minister of France must be sent there for more serious questions than those of a tobacco affair, and I will not be surprised if he urged Jefferson Davis to give up the game in the event of the fall of Yorktown and Richmond.

I have already told you that, before speaking about my dear brother Louis, I was waiting to hear something about the way he would explain his departure; I reserve judgement on every aspect of this. This is how we settled matters when he left here on 10 December. He takes with him: 1. 7,000 francs that he owed Messrs Garnier brothers on the old account; 2. 7,000 francs, plus interest, from his wife's dowry; 3. 15,000 francs that I give him for having been fed, housed and entertained at my expense; 4. 24,000 francs, the amount of the loan from his family. Total: 53,000 francs that this young man possesses solely because he found me in his path. As a result of the commitments I undertook, and with Daudier approving an account of 408 francs 30 to our credit—through which I pay even for the shirts on my sister's back and even for a sheet into which she spits—I do not conceal from you that, for a son who has always believed himself the favourite, I consider myself the king of fools and am quite convinced that I did not deserve this.","[[label: Main letter - Page 2]] And so I now calmly tell you that, having funds to send to the \"drawers\" [the manuscript literally reads tiroirs; in this commercial context tireurs, the drawers of bills, is probably intended], I have drawn on you two bills for 1,000 francs, at twenty and thirty days' sight. I did not mark them \"without costs\", since my sister, my brother-in-law and my brother agreed to have a summons served on me on 23 January. I had it framed; anyone may come and see it. Lucien went to the bailiff's. If my arrangements displease you, I beg you not to add to my troubles by failing to honour my signature, which is well regarded although I never use it. Draw on me, at my expense, for everything you believe I owe. Your bills will be paid and, later perhaps, you will pay mine. It is very tiresome, even sad. Later you will see who was right. I expect no inheritance; I am obliged to provide for myself, especially when everyone betrays me. Despite this, do not worry about me. I am satisfied with my business; that is where I differ from my relatives. I shall undoubtedly succeed in having the last laugh. I regret only that I involved my family in all this. I remain nonetheless the one of your children who loves you most, and I have only one regret: that I shall probably not be able to come and embrace you at the grape harvest. Yet I do not despair of it; within a month you will know. [[notes]] Editorial notes: The manuscript reading 'aux tiroirs' is preserved literally; the commercial context strongly suggests 'aux tireurs' (to the drawers of the bills).","[[label: Main letter - Page 3, postscript and signature]] Embrace mother and the family warmly, and accept the assurance of my very sincere affection. Your son, A. Gelas The summons that Rioux had served on me stated that I was refusing to show him my management of the liquidation, although he was at the house every day and wrote his letters there, something he had never done before. As soon as my younger brother saw the bailiff enter my house, he could think of nothing more urgent than to come, beaming with joy, and ask Sylvie what effect it had had on me. He said that he had known about it for three days—you will note that this was one day after he had left my house. That young man will go far.","[[label: Enclosed letter - Page 1]] Algiers, 20 February 1845 My dear father-in-law, I received all your letters in due course, including your last two of 12 January and 8 February. If I did not answer sooner, it was because I wanted to have something definite to tell you and to allow our affairs to be fully settled, which, thank God, they now are. You must know that during the three years our partnership lasted, your son and I were never in agreement. I had hoped that my marriage to Virginie might remedy this. From what has happened, you must know that I was greatly mistaken. Nevertheless, I have had no cause to complain, since through her I have received the greatest compensation for my difficulties. Up to now I have had only reason to congratulate myself on her character and the patience she has always shown. I hope that she, for her part, has had no cause to complain of me and that it will always be so. Never, even in my moments of bad temper, have I found the slightest imperfection in this angel whom you entrusted to me. Before Virginie left, I promised her that, one way or another, the interests of your son and me would be completely separated, and that if diplomacy could not succeed, no course, however difficult, would stop me. Thank God,","[[label: Enclosed letter - Page 2]] everything was settled amicably through my cousin Jules Grenier and one of our friends, Mr Roche. In order to obtain a liquid position, I gave up 25,000 francs of the 40,000 francs in profits due to me according to the books, and I granted every facility for repayment not only of the remaining 15,000 francs of my profits but also of the capital contribution belonging to my family. In return, Abel remains responsible for the risks of the liquidation and undertakes to release me from liability toward the creditors. The principal creditors were Grenier, Dalacel and Vetter; I wrote especially to the latter by the last mail of the 10th of this month, but he has not yet replied. For your part, please, for the sake of proper accounting, send me a discharge for whatever the firm of Gelas & Roux may owe you, if—as is reasonable—you consent to leave that sum in the hands of your son. I would be grateful if you would do this as soon as possible. To reassure you, I must tell you that despite our separation we remain as close as our position permits. You should know that since 15 January I have formed a new firm under the business name Alexandre Roux, at 51 rue Duquesne, for the wholesale and semi-wholesale wine trade. I have entirely given up bottled sales, as that retail business does not suit me. So far I am quite satisfied with my new business, although since I established it the weather has greatly hindered","[[label: Enclosed letter - Page 3]] business, for for nearly two months we have had continual rain, snow and hail. I would not have thought that Lucien's return would surprise you, especially after what I had said to prevent him from coming and because I thought you knew the character of your eldest son. Camille was wrong in his prediction by only one month: he had given him three months, whereas he managed to remain for two. You must understand, my dear father-in-law, that with my wife away, without yet knowing how my affair with Abel would end, and at the same time having with me a young man whom I had, so to speak, induced to leave an administration, it was entirely impossible for me to keep Lucien with me in idleness, especially at his age. I therefore thought it best to send him to Cette. I gave him 100 francs, which his brother had refused him, and I debited this to you so that it could be accounted for to Virginie. As for the complaints Abel makes against him, I must tell you, between ourselves, that I do not believe them at all. Even had there been the slightest plausibility in them, I was far from approving such a way of treating a brother who had been so eagerly asked for and to whom complete freedom had been given. In all this, what pains me most is what Mama Gelas has suffered. I hope this letter finds her fully recovered, and you as well from your fall,","[[label: Enclosed letter - Page 4 and signature]] about which Virginie informed me. Later, if my business grows to my satisfaction as I hope, and if he decides to return, I shall be pleased to help him. I hope you will have no reproach to make against me, for I know how one should act in such circumstances. I am delighted that Camille has taken charge of him; he will be in a good school and will not have the same unpleasant experiences as with his elder brother. If you had two or three thousand francs available and were willing to entrust them to me on current account at six per cent per annum, repayable, you would greatly oblige me and help me meet the cost of establishing my business. I have only 1,000 francs a month to receive from Abel for thirty-one months, besides 15,000 francs secured by mortgage that I have assigned to myself. If you are willing to do this, you need only tell me in your reply whether I may draw on you and at what dates. Otherwise I shall simply have to do without it. While awaiting your reply, which I hope will be favourable, and asking you to keep secret what I have told you about Abel, I embrace you all affectionately.

Formerly they arrived on the fifth day; now it was only yesterday, the 27th, that I received your letter of the 16th, and I am replying today, the 28th. I hope that in the meantime my second parcel has reached you. It left more than eight days ago, addressed to Mr Javot, and I have received a letter from him permitting me to use his address from time to time. My parcel contained the second volume of Robinson; you will divide it equally, or as best suits you. The third is well advanced, but it seems better to me to publish it after some time, either with the fourth or before it, whichever you prefer. At the same time I shall send you a geographical map of the island, which will be of interest, but which must appear only with the final volume because it contains places named after the discoveries and events. I wish I could do what you ask and send you sketches for the engravings, but in truth I have no time, and I myself would be at a loss over the choice. Your engraver, it seems to me, can do this as well as I can; or perhaps Mr Giraud, on reading it, would kindly indicate the","[[label: Letter text - Page 2]] situations that come closest to it. For the first engraving, the departure for the island in the tub-boat would be very pretty, were it not so difficult to compose. It would require an intelligent artist who could work from the author's description and who possessed imagination. The four little boys, their two big dogs, the father and mother, the extraordinary animals they encounter, this unfamiliar nature, this singular tree—all will make attractive pictures. But in truth I do not know how to specify them. I would have to reread my draft from beginning to end. As for the caption to place beneath each one, simply take the phrase that identifies the situation: \"Arrival on the island\", \"Establishment in the tree\", \"Death of the porcupine\", \"Voyage of discovery\", and so on—or else use the chapter title. The title of the work will be rather long; here it is: The Swiss Robinson, or Journal of a Father Shipwrecked with His Children. Translated from the German of Mr Wyss by Madame the Baroness de Montolieu. You will also have found the novella in the parcel. I lacked the time to make a fair copy of the two","[[label: Letter text - Page 3]] that I had promised you to replace them. In any event, use it only for the collection; it will be joined to one of the volumes, like Sophie d'Altena. I do not know what to tell you about the title. If you add several more novellas—composed, imitated or translated by Madame de Montolieu—and if you prefer to name only one, you would have to choose Le Chalet des Alpes, which is my own. Since it is not the longest, however, that might perhaps seem odd. Would you prefer \"Continuation of the collection of novellas by Madame de Montolieu\", or \"New Novellas\"? Think about it and choose. It does indeed seem to me that you have very little time between now and New Year. My eye troubles have delayed me completely, and I still suffer from them considerably, being unable to write for long at a stretch. My husband says, with some justification, that I am nearly killing myself for nothing. It is certain that I do not receive from my works what I ought to receive. This Robinson gives me too much trouble for me to earn only ten louis per volume, and I would profit more by attending to any other occupation. But it amuses me, and I do not intend to go back on a price I agreed.

The normalized year and place are explicitly identified as inferred from documentary evidence. Date evidence: The original dateline gives Busigny and 28 October; the address-side docket supplies the year 1813, while the Lausanne postmark confirms 28 October. Origin evidence: The dateline reads Busigny, the contemporary spelling used in the letter for Bussigny; the Lausanne departure mark and independent biographical evidence are consistent with Montolieu's residence at Bussigny.
