Étienne CLAVIÈRE (1735-1793) financier and minister; arrested with the Girondins, he stabbed himself. L.A.S. to a count; 1 1/2 pages in-12. He sends him "what my tired and aching brain could do. A detailed examination, or a criticism of each project would be difficult & would not be appropriate. I have contented myself with expressing their general defect, & I believe it is a useful thing to condemn this diversity"; moreover, everything must be carefully reread: "I propose to come to Suresne this evening to work on it"; he will go to Versailles to sleep.
