Cap Français [Saint Domingue]: Chez Batillot Jeune et Comp., [1791].. 10pp. gathered in loose sheets. Quarto. Very light scattered foxing. Near fine. Untrimmed. Dated December 21, 1791, this letter responds to one from December 8, sent by the administrating council of the rebel army, and inveighs against a rebel appeal to the non- white population of the western province of Saint Domingue. The letter, issued by Ignace- Frédéric de Mirbeck and Roume de Saint Laurent as commissioners to resolve the crisis, rejects the legitimacy of the council, its proclamations, and their justifications for the rebellion, and urges obedience to French law. Rare, as is all printing from the Caribbean, with no copies in OCLC, and not in Roquincourt. (Inventory #: WRCAM51688)
