Pierre-Louis MANUEL (1751-1793) publicist, Prosecutor of the Commune of Paris, conventional (Paris); he was guillotined. L.A., [September-October ? 1792], to Pierre-François PALLOY; 1 page in-fol. Prosecutor of the Commune, vignette of the Municipality of Paris, address with ms countersignature and red wax seal with the arms of Paris. To Palloy: "Nobody knows better the services that the patriot Palloy has rendered to the public spirit than the prosecutor of the Commune. But he will not observe to him less that with the best intentions he combines his steps badly. How could he write to all the bodies that he would render his accounts to the general council, without making sure that the general council could hear him? If Mr. Palloy owes accounts, it is up to the city council to receive them. According to what he told me, he owes them only to the people: and then it would be to publish them. [...] the only thing he can do that is not so bad is to ask the mayor for permission to receive in the great hall the numerous assembly on which he relies: and the municipal officers would come there like all the other citizens, if he invites them"...
