Louis ESTANCELIN, General Councillor of the Seine-Inférieure in 1848, Deputy of the SOMME in 1830, archaeologist (Eu (76) 1777 - 1858). Letter A.S. " ESTANCELIN " of Paris on November 28, 1830. 2 pages in-8° : " Sir ... I received with the feelings of a deep recognition the Diploma that you sent to me. I address my thanks to the (Learned) Society, in the person of Mr. President... You agree, Sir, that I have not yet found a moment to draw myself, to these studies, to these researches which, making us lose sight of the present time, make us live in the past centuries, and thus double our existence... If you have some research to do, some information to take, do not hesitate to ask me... You think well that the circumstances are not of a nature to make print a work like the one of which Mr. Grillon had the complaisance to communicate you some fragments. Minds are occupied with more serious interests. PARIS is quiet, but it is not cheerful. The malaise of commerce, the distance of rich consumers, the turbulence of bad heads influence this state. Let us hope that peace will not be disturbed, that the rumors of war, which may nevertheless be caused by the circumstances, will fade away; God willing, God doing it!
