Deputy DARNAUDAT (Louis Jean Henry) Orthez (64) 1739 - 1816 - Councillor at the Parliament of NAVARRE; Deputy of the Third to the Estates-General by the Province of BÉARN; Mayor of ORTHEZ - Letter A.S. "DARNAUDAT Deputy of the Department of the BASSES PYRÉNÉES", Paris December 14, 1790. 2 pages in-4° : " Sir, Hardly was it possible for me yesterday in such a numerous audience to pronounce you the name of PENSUN so worthy of your kindnesses and your attention.
