Highly skilled and influential diplomat (1754–1838) who served the French government from the reign of Louis XVI through that of Louis-Philippe, the last King of France. In the month-long period between the fall of Napoleon and the return of Louis XVIII in early 1814, Talleyrand headed the provisional government of France, making him, if only briefly, the most powerful man in the nation. LS in French, signed “The Vice Grand Elector Charles Maurice,” one page, 6.25 x 7.75, February 23, 1809. Letter to Monsieur le Comte de Fontanes. In full (translated): “I am most grateful, Sir, for your assistance in the matter regarding Ms. Fercoc, that touched me highly. May I ask you to accept my thanks and the assurance of my best regards.” In fine condition, with central horizontal and vertical fold, one through a single letter of signature, and a uniform shade of mild toning.
