Scope and content
"A letter from the Thoré brothers, Louis and B. Thoré to their father Paul Thoré, Paul Thoré was originally from Gers, left in the middle of the eighteenth century for Martinique and settled in St. Pierre, where he made a fortune as a trader. His children were born there. He returned to Gers in 1792, where he bought property newly confiscated by the State - the Abbaye de Flaran and the Chateau de Cassaigne. The Thoré brothers write about the seizure of their vessel by the English and discuss the use of Danish ships as neutral vessels." -The New Antiquarian
