Anne-Jacques de MEAULNE (1759-1834) Chouan leader who attemp - Lot 496
Anne-Jacques de MEAULNE (1759-1834) Chouan leader who attempted to rally the Chouans into an army corps, and served as parliamentarian to Scépeaux during the pacification. L.S. with autograph date, May 30, 1795, to Représentant du peuple DELAUNAY in Angers; 1 1/2 pages in-4, address. Important letter, relating to the pacification that most Chouan leaders were beginning to break, and that SCEPEAUX was loyally trying to maintain... "We will not neglect anything that will be in us to revive and maintain good order [...] we will fulfill with frankness the clauses of our treaty [...] wise people will rally around us. I have Mr. de SCEPAUX who has informed me of his intentions; he would be alarmed at the rumors that are spreading, if they were founded, but he cannot forget the frankness and the honor that you have put into all your procedures. He would like to have an interview. "I overcame all resistance; I was deaf to all calumnies and threats by doing good but in this moment of shouting and excitement I will avoid your city. Scépeaux will send someone to see RUELLE in Nantes: "it is to be believed that by putting all the same honor and the same frankness we will overcome all resistances, we will prove to our sad fatherland that we are all devoted to it"...
