An official document issued during the reign of Louis-Philippe , entirely handwritten in Limoux on January 2, 1846, by notary Riutort. This authentic 8-page manuscript records an acknowledgment of debt for 18,000 francs granted by François-Quentin Brustier, a former merchant, to three adult sisters, Zélie, Amélie, and Louise Guiraud, residing in Limoux. It displays the typical legal structure of the 19th century, the use of the royal stamp at 1.25 francs, handwritten signatures, and official annotations, perfectly illustrating the notarial procedures of the period. A remarkable historical document, both legible and richly calligraphed.
