Reply to Joseph-Bertrand de Chamousset, baron de Gilly, concerning research into a landed property that includes eight marsh, meadow and field plots as well as a mansion for which nobody could be found in charge: "3 marais aus marais de gilly [...] 274 toises / 95 marais à héroz 4. 38.1 / 189 [...] journ. 12.185 T. 1 p. / Monsieur / après toutes les recherches exactes que nous avons pu faire tout sur le cadastre que sur le journallier nous n'avons trouvé que les numeros ci-dessus dont personne ne se trouve chargé [...]".
- After Napoleon's proclamation in 1802, unsold emigrant property which had been seized during the early years of the Revolution to be sold as national assets was restituted to the original owning families. - With traces of a seal, a tear due to opening of the letter, some small tears, defects and duststaining to margins..
