Watchmaker, inventor, musician, diplomat, fugitive, spy, publisher, arms dealer, and revolutionary (1732–1799) best known for his theatrical works, especially the three Figaro plays. ALS signed “Beaumarchais,” one page, 4.25 x 6.5, July 21, 1785. In French, Beaumarchais responds to a book dealer in Paris. In full (translated): “M. Ruot is requesting to send from abroad to Mme. Garnant the copy [of a book] that she is requesting and that her number has won. This lady is asking me to procure it for her. I cannot refuse, at least, to make an effort [to do my best] to facilitate the sending [of it].” In very good condition, with mailing folds, toning, soiling, and show-through from residue of the wax seal on the reverse side.
