THE FAYETTE(Gilbert Du Motier de). Letter signed to Pierre-François Palloy. Château de Lagrange-Bléneau[near Courpalay in Seine-et-Marne], 19 November 1819. 3/4 p. in-4 "I am not the one who came to the sub-prefecture to ask about Mr Palloy: I would like to think that this information is due to the steps we have taken. In any case, I will arrive in Paris a few days before the opening of the[parliamentary] session and I will be very happy to support the good intentions of Mr. Desgranges[François Desgranges, notary and former mayor of Sceaux] and Mr. Champion by joining them in trying to obtain the act of justice in which I take an interest with all my heart... "In charge of demolishing the Bastille, the contractor Pierre-François Palloy made scale models of the building using materials collected on site, as well as commemorative medals, which he also offered to the various French civil and military institutions. To help him overcome financial difficulties, the department decided in 1819 to buy his house in Sceaux, and to install the sub-prefecture there.
