"Le Maal de MAILLEBOIS" at MAILLEBOIS (Eure-et-Loir) this November 15, 1753 - to Marquis D'ALLY - "It is with the most sensitive joy, sir, that in sending you the letter written to me by Mr. the former Bishop of MIREPOIX..., I pay you my compliments on the justice that the King has just rendered to Mr. your brother, in granting him the Bishopric of CHÂLONS SUR SAÔNE...". - 2pp in-8° + L.S. "Le Maal de MAILLEBOIS." in MAILLEBOIS (Eure-et-Loir) this December 10, 1759 - to M. le Chevalier D'ALLY - "I have received, my dear Chevalier, the two letters you kindly wrote me on the 1st and 4th of this month, with details of the continuation of your Combat, for which I am very grateful. On the off chance that you are still in ROCHEFORT, I am sending this letter there, but as your troop needs a lot of rest and a large number of recruits, I doubt that you will be left there for long; I am even convinced that you will receive orders to send Officers to fetch your recruits, and that in return you will be allowed to come to Paris to spend part of the winter. I intend to return there around the 20th of this month and to give, when I get there, the necessary orders to put your room in a position to receive you..." + L.S. "Le Majeure". + L.S. "Le Maal de MAILLEBOIS" at MAILLEBOIS (Eure-et-Loir) on October 4, 1760 - to M. le Chevalier D'ALLY - "I trust, Mon Cher Chevalier, that before receiving this letter, you will have received the one TEISSIER wrote to you on my behalf, as I was unable to do so myself in the overwhelm of grief caused by the almost sudden death of my brother. It will become more sensitive to me every day through the resource it will deprive me of for many occasions..." -
