From — Olivier Baronne de Mahuet

<Pont-à-Mousson in Lorraine, January 24, 1778, in French: I
am sending you, open, a letter that I beg you to forward to
Salem. It concerns, you will see, a relative that I believe I have
there, and I should be glad to know how he stands and what
he is doing; I hope you can get the letter to M. André Olivier.
The bearer is the marquis de Potterat, captain of cavalry in
the régiment d’Orléans; I am obliged to him for this opportunity
to write a person as respected and famous as you.>
