Letters and manuscripts of the Marquis C.A.A. de Maulevrier de Langeron, the comte Charles Etienne Louis Andrault de Langeron, and his brother the vicomte de Langeron. These three men were assigned under Louis XVI to oversee the organization of troops as part of the American forces during the American Revolution and also to organize the defense of French forts and ports during the campaign. The marquis was in charge of the garrison at Brest and later superintended the outfit of vessels for the American campaign. The comte was an army lieutenant under Rochambeau. The bulk of the letters pertain to political and military matters during the American and French Revolutions and are in French. There are numerous documents signed by Louis XVI.
