Summary:
Letter dated 17 June 1769 with an illegible signature, concerning a conflict between M. Noblat and the proprietors or leaseholders of the forges of Belfort and Grandvillars in the Franche-Comté department, over a mill for the drawing of wire (tirerie de fils de fer) on Noblat's land which the proprietors wish to be destroyed. The recipient of the letter seems to have been the individual who would act as a judge or arbitrator in the conflict; the writer is advocating on behalf of Noblat.
