Jean-Pierre Claris de FLORIAN (1755-1794)... - Lot 96 - Rossini
Jean-Pierre Claris de FLORIAN (1755-1794) poet, fabulist, novelist and playwright. L.A, Sceaux August 14, 1790, to his uncle the Marquis de Florian; 4 pages in-8. A long and beautiful letter. He thanks his uncle for the details "on your federation of Ferney. I like very much the assembly of the busts of Henri IV, Louis 16, Mrs de Voltaire and La Fayette. All these faces come back to me, and you had good company on your altar "... Follows a long passage on the personal affairs of his uncle, and the sale of his house in Bijou : " I can hardly give you any advice on the place of commander that you think we will offer you. It is necessary to wait for the organization of the national guards, and to see if you can command several villages. [...] Here, for example, I refused to have several commands, because it would have been necessary to give dinners, to make expenses, to have horses", etc. The public news is not good at the moment. There are great divisions in the assembly. They are fighting with pistols. I don't like that at all. Legislators should not cut each other's throats. Paris suffers a lot and complains. One wishes the end, one asks for it. God give us order and peace!
