Alphonse de LAMARTINE(1790-1869, poet, novelist, playwright and politician) / Autograph letter signed in the third person, 1 p in-8 plus address page (letter worn), letterhead with his dry initials surmounted by the comtal crown, toValentin Smith(1796-1891, magistrate and scholar, a regular correspondent of Lamartine to whom he sent reports on societal subjects, such as foundlings or the development of the railroad): "Mr Lamartine's indisposition deprived him of the pleasure of receiving him on Saturday. He is still very ill. But if Mr. Smith will drop by at 7 1/2 this evening, Mr. Lamartine will have a real pleasure in chatting with him for a while. He thanks him for the railroads and sees that in the moral order as in the material order there is sympathy between their thoughts".
