SADE Donatien-Alphonse-François, MARQUIS DE. (1740-1814).
L.A., [Versailles late 1798], to his lawyer citoyen Gaspard GAUFRIDY père in Apt| 1 page in-4, address with Versailles postmark.
Concerning his removal from the list of émigrés, even though he has fallen into poverty. "I'm still being held up for de-listing because of this act of notoriety that the B. du Rhone don't want to provide. No matter what I say, they absolutely want it| they've agreed to do without it for surveillance purposes, but they demand it for cancellation. Everything was ready, Barras was interested, all our deputies from Vaucluse, Goupilleau, at their head, acted vigorously"| but nothing can be done without this document. "I have nothing to eat, and I'm ready to give myself over to the last excess of despair"... You have to send him money: "I'm in despair, I've sold all my furniture and my library of 1,500 volumes is in pawn"...
