Charles-Alexandre de CALONNE (1734-1802) Comptroller General of Finances, then active agent and treasurer of the Emigration. L.A.S., Coblentz17 in the evening [July1792], to a knight; 3 pages in-4. Curious letter about the financial difficulties of the Emigration. He must go to Mayence to see the Emperor and the Princes, the Emperor having said to them "that I would like to be in Mayence while the two sovereigns are there"; he will be back on the 23 for the arrival of the King of Prussia. It is necessary to find a way to make the cantonment of Trèves leave, if necessary by committing all its goods. He would need a thousand louis, and he has put some of his own money in the Caisse des Princes. He would like to "close the mouth to two insolent suppliers who for payments of 4 and 9 thousand livres that I had promised for today wanted this evening to make the treasurer of the Princes stop"... 2 L.S. are joined: 1784, to Des Entelles, on the gold mark, and 1785 to the countess of LOWENDAL.
