| Description | Magdelaine Soubien, a 77 year old widow, requests to be admitted to the Hospital. She was born in the parish of Bergou, in Lower Normandy. Her late husband, Jaques Soubien, passed away seven months previously. Magdelaine has been a member of the French Church for the past forty years. She is now too unwell to be able to work and look after herself. The petition is signed by Robert Le Blond, P Levesque and Michel Lemann. Overleaf, a note by Mercier, highly praises her character and faith and strongly recommends her application, dated 9 June 1796. |
