Autograph letter, signed, (Postscript to the Item 168), in French, from General Vincent [Louis Charles Marie, Baron de, b. 1793?] to Thomas Clarkson, from Paris

Scope and Content

Vincent has just read in the Paris Gazettes that the former Queen of Haiti and her two daughters are at present at Playford Hall, and he considers it typically worthy of Clarkson to have discharged a debt which lies rather more at the door of a government [i.e. than at that of a private individual]. He hopes that his letter (i.e. the one following) finds them still at Playford, and will be glad to learn that they receive with especial grace ('avec quelque distinction') his protestations of devotion.
