February 22, 1841 (Postmark) 1p in-8°: "My dear friend, I gladly accept Easter Tuesday. If, however, M. le curé de Notre-Dame de Laurette preferred a day in Lent, he could take it in the 3rd week of Lent, from the 14th to the 21st,... As far as you're concerned, by Toi, this little affair must be arranged. Your daughter will have the three places at N.D. of course. For the father and uncle, I'd like to, but M. l'Archevêque won't want, I think, besides my brother-in-law, to give me places. He reserves the pew for the clergy..." - Enclosed: DISCOURS prononcé par le R.P. de RAVIGNAN, en l'Église de Sainte-Valère, le 25 juin 1849, à l'occasion du Mariage de M. le Vicomte De NICOLAY et de Melle de NOAILLES." - Speech printed 3p pages in-4°, addressed to the Marquis de RASTIGNAC.
