PRISON OF THE ABBEY. L.A.S. from Police Administrator Louis Roulx, Paris January 29, 1793, to citoyen La Vaquerie, concierge at the Abbey; 1page in-4, vignette and letterhead Commune de Paris, Département de Police.

[Concerning Joséphine de Rubec, wife of farmer-general Pierre de Kolly, detained as conspirators; both were sentenced to death on May 3, 1793 and Kolly executed on May 4, but his pregnant wife was not guillotined until November 6]. Roulx recommends that citizen Kolly be given "the most convenient and healthiest lodgings where she can live with her child and her maid, because of the disturbance to her health. You will show her, as you do all the other prisoners, every possible consideration and care. As for her child, you will let him be carried by his maid to see citizens Kolly and Beauvoir when they have been questioned and are no longer incommunicado. Please note that the maid is not involved in any way.
