METZ (MOSELLE) May 17, 1790. Autograph letter signed PIERON Prior of ST CLÉMENT, following the Abolition of the regular Clergy. - Sir,... The National Assembly, which has taken away our property, has at the same time taken away the consideration which is necessary for teachers to bring up the youth successfully. Our teachers and prefects are totally disgusted. The young people are becoming more and more difficult every day..." then he speaks of his boarder "...he has learned to calculate lightly, to speak correctly, to write clearly, to dance gracefully... I hope you will find him changed to his advantage... I am sorry that I cannot keep him any longer; I tried to get our religious to continue teaching until we were forced to leave him; but my efforts were useless...". - 2pp gd in-8°.
