Misfortunes of this revolution. Retired to a little town 15 leagues from Paris and enjoying son's society. Lost three thousand pounds. Battle near farm. So deprived of farm's rent. Nerves of stomach. Recall myself to you, my dear Madame Monroe and my dear scholar Eliza. Only sends letters of recommendation for a few people. Eliza has been indisposed at pains in part of her body after her lying ill. Wearing of flannel shifts and our waters in France, were the proper remedy. Must have some waters on new continent which bear some analogy with Barrage's waters.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
