LAFAYETTE, MARIE JOSEPH DE
(1757 - 1834) French statesman and military officer who served as a Major General under Washington and was instrumental in the defeat of Cornwallis at Yorktown. Third person A.L.S. signed in text ""Lafayette"" and at conclusion with initials ""L.F"", 1p. 8vo., [La Grange, ca. 1820], in French to M. Boucher. In part: ""...Lafayette and his family...are very taken with...the invitation from Mr. Alex Boucher, to join in all that will be pleasant to see and hear tomorrow at his house. But our departure soon from La Grange deprives us of this satisfaction..."". Folds, otherwise boldly written and very good.
