ROUSSEAU Jean-Baptiste [Paris, 1671 - Brussels,... - Lot 183 - Varenne Enchères
ROUSSEAU Jean-Baptiste [Paris, 1671 - Brussels, 1741], French poet. Autograph letter signed. May 12, 1716; 4 pages in-4°. "I still do not know Madame Trieste, the extent of my sensibility and after the tests that I made in the course of my life I still need to see her [...] in danger. Mr. Dehanchal could only represent to you very poorly the hardships I suffered. Finally, God had mercy on me. You have recovered. But no sooner had I begun to breathe than I was struck by a new thunderbolt when I learned what had happened to your son. My conclusion is that of your friends and that the circumstances are honorable for him and that if the misfortune wanted him to remain for a long time outside the kingdom, there is reason to believe that he will find here something to repair at least what he has lost in the service of France. His distrust, his youth, his face and the spirit that he must have, being born of you Madame, already speak loudly.
