LETTRE DU BUREAU DE CORRESPONDANCE DE LA COMPAGNIE DE MESSIEURS LES VOLONTAIRES DU PORT-AU-PRINCE, A MM. DE L'ASSEMBLÉE PROVINCIALE DU NORD. An intriguing and rare imprint, from the Company of Volunteers in Port-au-Prince to the Governor's General Assembly, rebuking their recent statements. The offensive letter proposed a split from the government and purported to be written by a member of the militiamen. They go on to pledge their allegiance to the General, encouraging him to continue his move against the rebellious province of Saint Marc. Any early Saint Domingue imprints are rare. We have handled one copy previously.
