SADE DONATIEN-ALPHONSE-FRANÇOIS, MARQUIS DE (1740-1814)
L.A., [Picpus summer 1794], to a "dear Citizen" [AUDIBERT, his farmer from La Coste?]| 2 pages in-4 (two edges a little bit gnawed without touching the text).
Letter from prison to obtain the lifting of the confiscation of his property after the fall of Robespierre.
Arrested as a counter-revolutionary suspect, and detained in Picpus, Sade claims his innocence and asks for the lifting of the sequestrations on his property, due to the emigration of his sons].
He sends the life certificates issued to him by his section, one of which is to be passed on to "Quinquin the widower" his steward de Mazan . "I am sending these documents to you, my dear Citizen, not wanting in the circumstances in which I am writing to the district, my detention is the fruit of current events, I have the greatest hope that it will be very short, and perhaps over when you receive this one. My property under no circumstances is in the case of sale or even sequestration| as soon as it is proved... that I have no place in the emigration of the children in question, they have no right to put the sequestration on my property| and I shall certainly soon have it lifted when I am free.
Is it as a detainee that I am regarded as a prisoner? I am still much further away from the sequestration, since the day before yesterday a decree was given to the
Convention which states that the prisoners will continue to have their property administered by their agents| it is the responsibility of the said agents to account for it to the nation if the prisoners are found guilty.... It is necessary to reach an agreement with Quinquin to "provide for my subsistence while I am waiting", and to do "the impossible to send me money. Calm will be restored| Terror is no longer the order of the day, it is justice and equality that are the order of the day| and one will suffer no more than scelerats, Robertspierre, Regnier, Payans des Heberts &c., who by their wickedness come out from below the level
