I am writing in strong terms to M. Marchand and M. de Gumne. I ask that my tableware be returned to Frantz; I beg you to sell it and to dispose of the money. If you find yourself in difficulties either from paying the nine thousand francs which I drew upon you in January payable on sight within six months or from any other causes send to M. Pays to share this burden with you and assist you with the resources that can be found in the remainder of my little fortune. If by the next post which we await daily I dont learn that all has been restored to order I will send you a general proxy. I enclose here a life certificate and a recounting of the battle of 16th March. Be assured sir of my complete and sincere affection for you. The Duke de Lauzun. The combat of March 16th mentioned was the Battle of Cape Henry off the Virginia coast in which a British squadron met the French fleet; the result was a draw. Lauzun's biographer identifies M. Marchand as the duke's steward and M. Pays as the keeper of his accounts. The letter has a vertical and horizontal fold and the usual light soiling. unknown
