ALS in French, signed “Lafayette,” one page, 6 x 4.5, April 7, 1833. The Marquis writes to a close friend and colleague, loosely translated, in part: “You have luck, my dear colleague, in asking me about the medal…I waited [for you] to stop by the Grange to give it to you. But I had just received it and I still want to give it to you with all the [memories] which this request inspires me to, for all the [amity] which I have vowed unto you,” adding the post script, “Would you be so kind as to present Madame de Dumilly my respects and my regrets [for missing] her most agreeable soirees.” In fine condition, with an intersecting horizontal and vertical fold, an ink notation to the top left, and trimmed edges.
