METZ (MOSELLE) May 17, 1790 - L.A.S. PIERON Prior of ST CLÉMENT - "Monsieur,... The National Assembly, which has taken away our property, has at the same time taken away from us the consideration that is necessary for teachers to raise young people successfully. Our teachers and prefects are totally disgusted. The young people are becoming more and more difficult every day..." then He talks about his resident"... he has learned to calculate slightly, to speak correctly, to write clearly, to dance gracefully... I hope you will find it changed to his advantage.... I am angry that I cannot keep him any longer; I have tried to engage our religious to continue teaching until we were forced to leave him; but my efforts have been useless..." - 2pp gd in-8°.
