| Description | Marie Balmier, a woman of over 60, requests to be admitted to the Hospital. She suffers from dementia and has no one to take care of her. She is considered a danger to herself after recently losing an eye by her own hand. A note at the end by Dr Jacquin confirms Marie's condition, dated 17 October 1769. The petition is not dated and is signed by Henri de Saunières and Samuel Jaumard. |
