MOSCOU (Russie). 1829. Countess GOLOWKIN. Letter signed DE VIGNIÈRES, from MOSCOW on March 15, 1829, addressed to Madame la Vicomtesse de BRUGES, born Countess of GOLOWKIN, in MONTRETOUT (Hauts-de-Seine). 4 pages in-4°. Text in French: "... the division of the paintings, about which the motivated refusal of your cousin is a gratuitous insult to the persons whom he entrusted with his confidence, and who obtained yours; It is currently a question of the House, if you and your cousin want it to be sold. When he left Moscow in 1828, he left Master DURAZET instead of a general authorization, to make the best of it, special instructions... you must not count on the sale, at least at this price, many repairs are urgent... Now is the time to make a determination (about the sale of the House)... I have recently sent the Countess de Schuélant the proceeds of her lands... I am extremely busy with what concerns yours... the difficulties multiply as one wants to restore order... The Princess sends you many compliments and wishes you to be more favored than we are by the temperature, which even today is 10 degrees below zero, with two and a half feet of snow on the ground..."
