Orléans, January 21 and 27, 1782. A collection of two signed autograph letters concerning the maintenance of public order at dances and assemblies in Orléans in 1782. We have in Orléans a turbulent youth that is difficult to control.) Public, formal, and daytime dances take place, My Lord, every Friday.
The police has just issued regulations that it judged necessary for good order, and I have been informed that our young men have formed the plan to oppose their enforcement by force. The letters were written by Louis de Passac, Lieutenant of the Marshals of France, to the president of the Police Tribunal.
