Jean-Baptiste COLBERT (1619-1683). L.A.S., April 5, 1667, to Gabriel-Nicolas de La Reynie, lieutenant of police; 1 page in-8. He wrote a bill "by which I let you know that the King wanted to see the merchant lingers who presented a plan to His Mate, and as I did not receive any answer from you because these merchants did not come here I am at a loss if you received my bill. If you did not receive it, I beg you to inform these merchants that they have to go to this place at noon"...
