AMERICA (Civil War.). ARDÈCHE. RHÔNE) - 14 commercial letters addressed to Messrs DURANT Frères and DUMAS in FLAVIAC (Ardèche) including 12 from the House "REPELIN, DE MICHEAUX & Cie in LYON from 1861 to 1862, on the trade of working and Silk. (Allusion to the American Civil War) "The American situation continues to weigh more and more on our market." - Letter from Lyon, March 20, 1861 "... the calm is now returning to our square, as news from America has not supported the movement, our manufacturers have returned to their previous reserve; we will not be able to obtain today the prices we were talking about for your Andros and for your two sons. President LINCOLN's speech does not change the opinion we had formed from the telegraphic summary we had before yesterday; the question remains as undecided as in the past, and the American correspondence expresses the opinion that the States of the South will maintain their separation; it is therefore an armed conflict which is inevitably brewing. We are still without opening up to offer you we have done new research without coming to anything, we will continue it and we are not asking for anything better than to be able to satisfy you", etc.
