MARTINIQUE. - Set of 3 signed letters from the years 1786-1791. - L.S. to M. Thomé, captain in the regiment of the French guards, dated Versailles June 30, 1786, half page in-folio. The marshal de Castries reports that the King has granted a pension to the widow of a Sieur Thomé, former colonial commissioner in St. Lucia, but that this favor cannot be extended to the Children. - L.S. de Thomé, dated July 6, 1786, 2 pages in-12, black wax stamps. It seems that this letter was used as a draft to the brigadier Thomé for his reply to the Marshal of Castries, thanking him for having obtained from the king a pension for Sieur Thomé who died in Saint Lucia. - L.S. of Mrs. G. Thomé (widow of the said Thomé), dated Saint-Pierre in Martinique, November 24, 1791, one and a half pages in-8 square. The widow paints a picture of the troubled situation in the colony and says that she was forced to flee to the English colonies; reports his concern about Martinique: we may be threatened by the same events in Santo Domingo.
