Description
SIR FRANCIS BARING (1740-1810). Baring was an English banker and baronet.LS. 1pg. October 21, 1802. London. A letter signed F Baring. Baring wrote in French to Parisian banker Jacques Rcamier (1751-1830), husband of the more famous Juliette Rcamier, regarding a substantial payment to French diplomat Louis-Andr Pichon (1771-1854). In translation, it reads in part: I have received today a letter from the United States dated September 9. Our friends there receive an order that my house sent them, paying one million livre tournois to Mr. Pichon. They add that the money is ready, except for Mr. Pichon is then at the Washington government residents, and that he was waiting two days. I [am] happy, Sir, to take this occasion to offer you my sincere thanks for all the attentions and marks of friendship that I feel for your Lady, you and your son during my stay in ParisF Baring. The international business requiring this large transaction, about which Baring requests Rcamiers silence, is unclear. It is in fine condition.
