GERS. 2 Letters from Charles de BATZ, chevalier, seigneur baron de Trenquelléon , seigneur du Guay et de Saint-Julien, born in 1712 (The Château de TRENQUELLÉON, was built in FEUQUEROLLES, in the Lot-et-Garonne) - Autograph letter signed "Le Chevalier de BATZ" in Nérac , (Gers) January 10, 1782, addressed to Mr De BAZIGNAN Commandeur de l'Ordre de Saint Lazare, in AGEN (Lot-et-Garonne) : "I always receive with a new pleasure, my Dear Commander, the marks of your memory and your friendship of which I make the greatest use.... My cursed gout forces me to hardly leave my town and countryside. My attack was so strong two years ago that I counted your servant gone to glory... I had been unaware that you had been ill. I would not have neglected to find out about it and try to remedy it through my friends (doctor) in Montpellier... I thank you for the party you are proposing. As my nephew has 5 legitimate bills to pay, he needs more than what you are proposing, and I don't think he can find what he needs in the provinces. We have a sick sailor in Baltimore... I am very afraid for him without help after having lost everything on the ship he was on which was burned. His condition must not be pleasant. What can we do? He's in the hands of Providence. So far, he's given us nothing but grief... I pity you for having such a bumpy business. I know you need it for your health. Take it easy and think, my dear Sir, that the Commandant de BASIGNAN is not a child and that he must be spared for the sake of his friends. I ask you to always be among them, having the sincere honor to be. 4 pages in-8° + Lettre A.S. du Chevalier de BATZ, de NÉRAC (Gers) le 3 Février 1780. 2 pages in-8° : " Monsieur. I had thought not to give you so much trouble in asking you to want to accelerate the establishment of my niece with Mr de BOUZET but from me or my brother's letter a play on words and on a solid speech that you and I like, I had written to him that the best of my friends was going to act to please me and with whom it was necessary to speak and not to beat the campaign...
