F.1 and f.2 are a contemporary copy of a royal edict dating to the 28th February 1776. This edict transfers a customs depot from Collonges to Longeray. F.3 is a corrected contemporary copy of an undated edict transferring control of Chezery from Turin to Bugey.
Jean François Joly de Fleury writes that he is sending back two memoirs given to Daniel Charles de Trudaine by the General Farm concerning the union made between Chezery and Ballon by the Treaty of Turin. He says that he has visited these regions so that he is in a position to give his opinion—with full knowledge of the facts—on all questions that may arise from the execution of the treaty. Joly de Fleury claims that the Treaty will prevent smuggling, and this was evidenced to him when, a few days before his visit to Seyssel, they chastised an employee who boarded a boat. The remaining question, he notes, is whether the valley of Chezery should be united with Ballon [Ballon d’Alsace] or the Pays de Gex, a matter which has already given rise to numerous memoirs. Joly de Fleury has begun the letter halfway down p.1, indicating his respect for Daniel Charles de Trudaine.
Clément Charles François de Laverdy writes to Jean Charles Philibert de Trudaine de Montigny explaining that he is sending him copies of the King’s replies to Articles 3, 7, 8, 11, 12, and 13 of the books of Bresse and Bugey, and Articles 4 and 12 of the book of Gex. He asks de Trudaine de Montigny to take care of it as soon as possible. These copies are included in the MS 39 collection (B-E)
