Italian-born composer and opera director (1771–1839) who was one of the first teachers of the young Franz Liszt. ALS in French, signed “F. Paer,” one page, 7.5 x 9.5, no date. Paer appears to have been caught passing bad checks, and pens a letter regarding these legal matters. In part (translated): “This morning I wrote to you in order to bring to your attention the matter of the Jury; and now, I must write you once again because the gendarme came to tell me that the paper I had left with you is worthless, since it is dated for the 16th and not the 15th. I take the liberty of sending you this second paper, enclosed herewith, and ask that you back the other.” Central vertical and horizontal folds, scattered creases, and some mild toning, otherwise fine condition.
