Gabriel-Laurent PAILLOU (Chantonnay, Vendée, 1735 – La Rochelle, 1826) Bishop of LA ROCHELLE from 1803 to 1826, Baron of the Empire. Letter A.S. from the Bishop of La Rochelle, written from La Flocellière (Vendée) on July 18, 1812, 1 p., in-4°. Addressed to Madame ST LAURENT, an Ursuline nun in CHAVAGNES (CHAVAGNES-EN-PALLERS, Vendée), by St. Fulgent: “I have not forgotten my daughters in CHAVAGNES, my dear daughter. The Superior is in a position to prove this to you, as the last letter I wrote to him concerned specifically your community and the need to provide you with a good director… I will gladly continue to recommend Mr. Baudouin as your superior; he is better suited to the role than anyone else. He knows all of you, and since there is direct mail service from Chavagnes to La Rochelle, it takes very little time to receive news from one place to the other. You are right to count on my devotion; it will always lead me to do my best for a Congregation that could not be dearer to me… ”
