                                                Lot 76.   Folded letter, La Rochelle 22 June 1781 to Port au Prince.  From the markings, the letter

                                                       arrived at Cap as a ship letter (name of ship in ms on flap), entered the post there and was

                                                       sent on to PauP.   There is a nice strike of the small 'CAP' (Jamet #6) and manuscript 2 E

                                                       postage due.   The letter is in French in a very neat hand.   The piece overall is very clean,

                                                       neat, and attractive.
