Etienne François writes that he had had the honour of asking Jean Charles Philibert de Trudaine de Montigny for his opinion in June on the plan to separate Gex from the five large farms. He is impatient for his response because the Director of the farms of Belley has put an inhabitant on trial which may hinder the removal of the privileges of this province and which may be detrimental to the views that it is to be repopulated and revitalised. He therefore askes again for clarifications from Jean Charles Philibert de Trudaine de Montigny.
