Eon de Beaumont, Charles Geneviève Louis Auguste André Timothée d', 1728-1810
Art. II. That all papers of the secret correspondence between
the Chevalier d’Eon, the late King, and the several persons
entrusted by his Majesty to entertain that correspondence,
designated in the letters by the names deputy, solicitor,
in the same way in which his Majesty himself was styled the
counsellor, etc. ... which secret correspondence was concealed
beneath the flooring of the bed-chamber of the said Chevalier
d’Eon, whence it was withdrawn by him, on October 5 of the
present year, in my presence alone, being carefully sealed and
addressed: _To the King only, at Versailles_; that all the
copies of the said letters, minutes, cyphers, etc., shall be
delivered to me, likewise attested with initials, and with an
exact inventory, the said secret correspondence consisting of
five portfolios or thick volumes in quarto.
Art. III. That the said Chevalier d’Eon is to desist from every
kind of proceeding, judicial or personal, against the memory of
the late Comte de Guerchy, his adversary, the successors to his
title, the members of his family, etc., and undertakes never
to revive any such proceedings under whatsoever form, unless
he be forced thereto by judicial or personal provocation on
the part of some relative, friend, or adherent of that family;
for which there can no longer be any apprehension, his Majesty
having, in his wisdom, taken every necessary precaution to
prevent the recurrence, in the future, of any such unseemly
quarrels, whether on the one side or on the other.
