The Count De la Touche was a French admiral who served in the American and French Revolutions, as well as the Napoleonic Wars.LS. 2pgs. December 14, 1786. Paris. A letter signed De la Touche. In French, the Admiral De la Touche wrote to the Marquis de Lotbinire regarding a Naval volunteer. The letter dates to the period between the American and French Revolutions. In translation, it reads: Even though I have the greatest desire, dear Marquis, to do what is possible to make M. Laudrier Desbordes happy, it is impossible for him to embark as 1st class volunteer if he does not have the required three actual years of service at sea. In case that he cannot fulfill that requirement, issued last January 1, he will qualify as 2nd class volunteer, to which the two campaigns that he has already participated in entitle him. You have inspired my infinite interest in him, dear Marquis, and I will be happy to provide support for him in all unforeseeable circumstances and to use this occasion to convince you of my sincere attachment, dear Marquis, with which I have the honor to be your most humble and obedient servant, De la Touche. It is in fine condition with minor toning.
