TURGOT Anne Robert Jacques (1727-1781) homme politique et économiste
L.A., Limoges October 30, 1772, at Antoine-Bernard CAILLARD; 1 page and a half small in-4, address with red wax stamp on the arms (broken). On the diplomatic career to his former collaborator. [Turgot was then intendant of the generality of Limoges, where Caillard (1737-1807) had assisted him before entering the diplomatic service]. He receives a letter from Mr. Melon "who announces to me, but asking me not to quote him, that he believes that Mr. d'Adhémar is going to have Liège, and that if you have some way of making him talk you would do well to propose yourself. It is unfortunate that in this circumstance ny Mr de Boisgelin ny Mr d'Aix are not in Paris, but you know him Mr Gérard and perhaps you could address yourself directly to him. He could even tell you if what we asked Mr Melon is true; because he is not sure. By being made by his ideas, Mr. Melon speaks to me as a very disgusted man of the profession, and of the little hope of advancement that he sees in it. In spite of this, I think that this career is worth any other you might enter. I regret not being in Paris at this time."
