SEINE-MARITIME. GUÉRARD DE LA QUESNERIE (Amable Guillaume) Lawyer, Deputy for the SEINE INFÉRIEURE in the Council of Elders. Letter A.S. “GUERARD,” Administrator of the Directory of CAUDEBEC, Seine-Inférieure department—CAUDEBEC, August 9, 1792, Year 4 of Liberty – Urgent letter addressed to Mr. RAVRIO on Rue de la Ferronnerie in Paris or to Mr. IMBER on Rue de la Monnoye, regarding the shipment of the District’s medals for the procession on August 15, 1792. (This procession never took place due to the events of August 10, 1792.): He asks him to send him as soon as possible “via courier service five silver medals, each adorned with its own cord, including that of the Procurator Sindic, which must have two tassels. In addition, just one silver medal, since one of us already has the cord as an alternate judge and wants only a plain silver medal. We absolutely need them for the procession on the 15th of this month, so the items must be delivered to Rouen at the Caudebec stagecoach office, which will depart on Monday at 11 a.m. for Caudebec. In the evening, it would be embarrassing for us to be left waiting in vain, having given you priority…” — “Note: The stagecoach bound for Caudebec stops in Rouen on the Boulevards de Cauchoise.” 1 page, in-4°.
