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.

A letter from Jean François Joly de Fleury de La Valette to Daniel Charles de Trudaine about a draft judgement which had been sent to him on the 18th of November 1760 for a meeting at Bugey. Joly de Fleury points out some small errors in the draft, such as Chezery being called a town rather than a valley, then advocates for the inclusion of the lands of Ballon [Ballon d’Alsace], seeing as it is four or five times larger than the valley of Chezery. Joly de Fleury asks not to speak of laws and customs because he lacks sufficient knowledge of them but concedes that it is necessary to discuss the reunion of territories and obtain the proper letters and patents. He says that he thinks it would be commendable to include in the preamble the memoirs and representations that have been produced for Burgey and Gex. Joly de Fleury writes then that he has attached a revised draft of the declaration and that he thinks it would be appropriate to unite the valley of Chezery with Nantua and Ballon with Seyssel. He has begun the letter halfway down p.1 indicating his respect for Daniel Charles de Trudaine.
