Description

ALS in French, signed “Treilhard,” one page both sides, 4.75 x 7.25, no date. Partly translated letter from Jean-Baptiste Treilhard to "Citoyen P. Montesquiou," in which he affirms that he "was very angry to have not been at home when Citizen Montesquiou took the trouble to stop by," and that his "assurances of devotion and esteem" remain unchanged, just like his "republican principles." He proposes an imminent visit, remarking that "old soldiers of the revolution don't look back and don't stop en route…As I suppose that Citizen Montesquiou didn't wake up at the crack of dawn, I will stop by his house bright and early to find him." In very good to fine condition, with light soiling and seal-related paper loss to the integral address leaf.
