P. 218 : Lettre d'E.I. du Pont à Mr. Garesché de mai 1803
  Monsieur:

     I thank you for letting me  know  of  your  brother's
journey. I enclose a letter that I beg him to send  to  my
father. I am sure that when I was in France  there  was  a
law for the protection of young colonists  which  made  it
only necessary that they should declare their intention of 
returning to their homes. This law obliged MM. Du Paty and 
many young men I knew to make the voyage to  San  Domingo.
If it still exists and I think  it  does,  it  makes  your
brother's position perfectly safe while he is there.  When
he returns he should take his passport for San Domingo via 
the United States. His health would not be nearly so  sure
a way to escape; he would have to be examined by a medical 
board and they are usually very severe...

  En l'occurrence, il s'agissait d'échapper à la conscrip-
tion française.
