L.A.S. "Delambre", to citizen ARNAULT of the Institut National; 1 page in-4. He recommends to his colleague citizen LEBLANC "who asked for her son a place at the Prytanée or at Liancourt [military orphanage founded by the Duke of La Rochefoucauld-Liancourt in 1788]. You promised me to have the documents she presented to you examined promptly, and you flattered me with the hope that you would do everything you could for her. There is a great appearance that the thing is experiencing more difficulties than we had counted on". He asks Arnault to support this request with the Minister of the Interior.
