"Ste. Domingue } Dupta. Monseigneur J'ay réçu par la flûte du Roy le Port faix seulement, le Lettre que vous m'avez fait l'honneur de m'ecrire du 5. avril dernier, concernant les affaires que j'ay avec Mad. de Curzé..." signed "Du Clos." Maurepas has apparently expressed astonishment that someone living in a part of the world where only to exist was to become rich could be so deeply in debt; Du Clos tells Maurepas of his difficulties with two creditors, Mme. de Curzé and Mme. de St. Sulpice. Pellerin, Maurepas' First Clerk of the Navy, is among those in debt to Du Clos who, although he has never gambled has had to sell his house, slaves, and furniture to meet his debts., Original digital object name: bei-m065b, This digital resource is provided by the Special Collections, Hamilton College, Clinton, New York, United States.
