Haitian
On 26 March 1862, by a deed drawn up by Maître Valencourt Frédérique, notary at Port-au-Prince, published in the Moniteur of 8 April 1865, and signed by the Administrator General of the National Domains, General J. B. Damier, in the name of the government of Haiti, and by Edmond Devèze, the government granted the latter the exploitation of the timber of the island of La Tortue for 7 years, in the presence of the witnesses Otello Rigaud and Bois.
Rouzier tells this under the entry TORTUE (la).
