Pascal Paoli (April 1725 - February 1807), general of the Corsican nation. Letter, 3 lines autograph, Rostino 13 August 1757, 1p ½ in-8° in Italian. "It would be rather singular if the French wanted to establish their hospitals in our villages and introduce there a kind of epidemic disease, such as that which must certainly reign in Calvi. We are writing to the Magistrato (of Balagne) not to grant such authorisation, as this is a matter that should concern the whole nation, and we should give it careful thought before giving an affirmative answer"... This is followed by considerations on the international context: "the Queen of Hungary has handed Ostend and Nieuport over to the care of the French: here is the bridle put in the mouth of the Dutch, the English and the Germans themselves". The arrival of Gian Quilico Casabianca raised questions among the French, who were monitoring his movements.
