Item Details
Description
Charles Hector, comte d'Estaing (1729-1794) French Naval Officer. D”Estaing was commander of the first French fleet sent in support of the American colonists during the American Revolution. His lack of naval experience caused him to be diffident before smaller British forces. His caution and hesitancy greatly disappointed the colonists during a crucial phase of the war. 6 ½” x 8 ¼” autograph letter signed twice “Estaing” at conclusion and in the text, in French, October 26, 1746, to Mr. Motte.
