ALS in French, signed “Lafayette,” one page, 6 x 5.75, April 24, 1810. Lafayette writes to Le Comte Peter de la Louret, “Councillor of State,” in Paris. In part (translated): “Permit me…to mention our common interest on behalf of Monsier de Chapelain. Your influence will be greater than mine and I join in his gratitude to you. I do not know if he has been included in the last nomination of auditors; if he was not, it would be desirable to take advantage of the one which they say is going to take place. I am quite sure you will do what there is to be done. I shall be in the country for about a fortnight, some five leagues from Paris.” Matted and framed with the original address leaf in Lafayette’s hand and a portrait engraving to an overall size of 18.25 x 18.25. In fine condition, with light intersecting folds.
