LS in French, signed “Lafayette,” one page, 7.25 x 8.75, April 4, 1827. Letter to the French lawyer, journalist and political writer Charles Comte, in part (translated): "I am astonished myself that I have not yet been able to offer you an appointment, my dear friend; but I am taken from morning to evening, and my convalescence does not find me any better. If you could come after tomorrow Sunday at one o'clock, we would talk, and I will tell you what was said in the offices to amend the law which would be effective if all the administrative systems were not changed." In very good condition, with irregular toning to the perimeter, and a repaired tear to the right edge. Accompanied by an engraved portrait of Lafayette bearing a facsimile signature.
