This is a folded official letter sent from Béziers to Montpellier on 17 June 1825, addressed to “Monsieur Amal, Receveur des actes civils à Montpellier,” a public civil registrar. The letter is handwritten in brown ink and folded in the typical "entire letter" format used before the widespread adoption of envelopes. It bears a manuscript “3” in large script on the front, representing the postage due of 3 décimes, and includes a faint handstamp from Béziers, indicating the point of dispatch. The contents refer to administrative matters likely involving civil recordkeeping or intergovernmental correspondence, as inferred from the formal tone and institutional title of the recipient. The handwriting is fluent and ornate, characteristic of early 19th-century bureaucratic French style. The paper is well preserved with evident folds from its original posting configuration, and a small remnant of the wax seal is visible. This letter is a representative example of Restoration-era French administrative postal history, predating postage stamps and showcasing the early 19th-century system of manuscript rates and folded documents used both as correspondence and cover. Estimate: "$60 – 90"
