Description

Jean-Baptiste SAY (1767–1832). Autograph letter, Paris, 22 August [1824], to Mr Ternaux the Elder; 1 page, in-8, addressed. He is delighted to accept his invitation. ‘But you do not realise what you are getting yourself into: hosting two people for dinner instead of one. A few nervous breakdowns I have suffered mean that, for the time being, I am obliged not to go out without a member of my family. I therefore ask your permission to bring my daughter Octavie with me; but if Madame Louis is not dining with you on Thursday, she will go home for her soup’”…
