" The Minister of War writes to me, citizens, that he has forwarded to you the request made by Mr. Vissière the Elder, a merchant in Lauserte, for a commission to sell gunpowder . This request is supported by a certificate from the municipality attesting to his good character. I myself hasten, based on the information I have gathered about him, to offer him the same testimony. I ask you to consider his request and to inform me of the outcome of your decision. Yours sincerely."
