Adrien-Nicolas Piédefer, marquis de LA SALLE (1735-1818) gen - Lot 122
Adrien-Nicolas Piédefer, marquis de LA SALLE (1735-1818) general, first commander of the Paris National Guard. L.S., Paris February 5, 1791, [to PALLOY]; 1 page large in-4. He thanks him for sending the plan of the Bastille: "This mark of esteem and friendship from such a brave man and such a good patriot, is well done to make me forget the sorrows that the popular prevention excited by jealous scellerats of the happiness I had had to serve my country made me feel on August 6, 1989 [he had almost been slaughtered by the people]. I have at least the glory of having been the precursor of General [LAFAYETTE], whose prudence has saved us more than twenty times from the horrors of civil war. [...] I see my country free, a wise Constitution coming to an end, my compatriots will be happy [...] I am happy"... Former collection Patrice Hennessy.
