LESSEPS [, 1802 - , 1874], diplomat, director of consulates and commercial affairs at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, elder brother of Ferdinand de Lesseps. Autograph letter signed. Liverpool April 26, 1854; 8 pages in-8°. "You are perfectly right in everything you say about the inconvenience of the delay in the English publication of the report; I told Mr. [...] that it should be a good lesson for him in the future. [...] There is every reason to believe that my intentions will be carried out. [...] the report which he then sent you so that he could make a translation or a simple and exact extract. Instead of that, in order to hasten the printing of the report and to take care of it himself, he hands over [...], what I had recommended to him to his employee who makes an absurd and inaccurate summary and sends it to all the newspapers".
