LS in French, signed “Lafayette,” one page, 7.25 x 8.5, February 14, 1831. Letter to a government official. In full: “I would like to direct your attention, my dear Minister, on a Spaniard named Mr. Inglada, who has been terribly persecuted under the Ministry of Mr. De Peyronnet and who has several complaints to make. They seem totally legitimate and I know they will receive your undivided attention.” Letter has been professionally inlaid by its second integral page to a slightly larger sheet. A mild shade of toning, scattered wrinkling, and several intersecting folds, one through beginning of signature, otherwise fine condition.
Lafayette had rallied against King Charles X and de Peyronnet several months earlier in the July Revolution of 1830. As France’s interior minister, de Peyronnet had countersigned ordinances which provoked the uprising, during which Lafayette assumed command of the National Guard. Much of France viewed Lafayette as a respected leader and called for him to assume the nation’s presidency—an offer he declined in support of Louis-Philippe's bid as a constitutional monarch. Though rejecting a leadership role, he still sought to undo much of the persecution that had run rampant. Pivotal insight into the role Lafayette played in the reformation of France.
