"Citizen. I have just learned that the Citizen FERAY Artist of the Theater of Arts that you administer has just been reformed. You are too just and too human, Citizen, not to revoke this resolution. You know how much the Citizen FERAY deserves by his talents, his accuracy, his long services, the very rare kind of his voice and his knowledge of music and composition, which make him so useful in the difficult pieces of the choruses where the precision of his execution leads to that of several of those who sing with him: Here is for justice. Here is for humanity. The citizen FERAY by losing a place on which he had so much right to count, is going to find himself without resources, he is father of a family; he will die of pain... ". + Letter A.S. of March 8, 1817, to Mr. Annibal De MARROT in Guilleberts (Charente). 1p in-4°. "The feelings that you want to grant me touch me as much as they honor me. Mr. your father and mine were linked, by a friendship that you were willing to have for me, since your first youth. This attachment is too old and precious to me, for you not to keep it for me.
