French photographer. ALS in French, one page both sides, 8.5 x 10.5, no date. Letter to the Count of Trouville. In part: “At the same time…organizing a lottery to help the victims of the fire in Limoges, I got the idea to ask the Arts, the business and the industry for help. The honorable senator hasn’t followed up this project, mine has become more likely because I’m assailed everyday by numerous joinings. My plan is as simple as it can be and here it is in a couple of words: instead of asking the industry for its money I found it more clever to ask for its goods.” In very good condition, with old tape reinforcement and toning from repairs along folds, several small edge tears and light overall toning.
