CHARENTE MARITIME. RONDEAU family, from LA ROCHELLE (17); 10 letters from 1773 to 1790. Interesting correspondence from the son RONDEAU, a young doctor studying in Montpellier, Lyon and Paris, addressed to his father G. RONDEAU Négociant, Rue Notre-Dame à la Rochelle (17). About his medical studies. He hesitates to become a surgeon: "It's that doctor is an honorable title, which will always serve me." "I haven't paid them because I needed a summer suit, which I had made, and I was afraid I would run out of money...". "I no longer continue to go to the Hôtel Dieu... given that only part of it burned down, but as we were overflowing with sick people, we decided to send part of them to the Hôpital St-Louis... which was formerly used for lepers... I am perfectly cured of the scabies, but I still have some itching...".
