Robert SURCOUF (1773-1827). L.S., Saint-Malo June 24, 1821, to Messieurs Desbouillons fils in Rennes; half-page in-4, address with postmark. "I have some cacaos from Martinique, I'm sending you a sample. See all your chocolate makers and try to sell them some. They say it's very good. I'll sell it for 1f 30c per half kilogram, payable at 4 months. It's in thirds. It's sold tare written or on the sheet"... He asks for a quick reply, as "I'd send it to Paris if I couldn't find it for sale with you"...
