About This Item
Bourges, France. Good in Good dust jacket. 1738. Ephemera. On offer is an interesting note dating from early 18th century France. The note is dated June, 1738 and begins: A la requeste d'une favour du nom procureur...[Translation: At the request of a favour in the name of prosecutor
]. The note was signed Dubrelle. Our informal research has not found any biographical information about Dubrelle. From research, we know that one Francoise Dumont was a lawyer in Bourges and years later was appointed as Kings attorney in the finance office of Bourges. However, we do not have conclusive proof that this is the same person. As noted above, the note bears a seal that refers to the city of Bourges. For a collector of correspondence or for a historian of this period in France, this little note would make an interesting addition to a collection. This small, 1-page note measures 7.25 inches by 4.75 inches. It is in good condition with wear marks along all edges. The handwriting is tight but expressions can be translated that point to the purpose of the note. The reverse bears a stamped seal and the name of the recipient. ; Letters; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 1 pages .
