Description

8vo. ½ p. on bifolium. With autograph address and traces of seal. To a M. Duchanoy, declining an invitation because of the visit of a M. Brochant: "Nous recevons à l'instant la visite de Brochant qui nous annonce qu'il a retenu nos places pour lundi prochain, il nous sera donc impossible de nous rendre à votre aimable invitation. J'avais fait part a Brochant de votre offre obligeante de commencer nos chasses [?] par Aulnay, mais des engagements autérieures le forcent de partir directement pour ses fermes [.]". - Gouffré was a double bass player in the orchestra of the Paris Opéra. He features prominently in Edgar Degas' famous 1869 painting "The Orchestra of the Opera" (in the Musée d'Orsay). - Traces of former mounting and tears from breaking the seal. Minor browning to the borders and a stain from sealing wax touching the text.
