François-René de Chateaubriand - Lettre autographe au sujet de la Vallée-aux-Loups - 1800

Very beautiful autograph letter by François-René de Chateaubriand (1768-1848), French writer and politician, one of the forerunners of romanticism, famous notably for Atala, René, and the Mémoires d’outre-tombe.

Letter to his friend Claire de Duras, recalling Meudon (or the Vallée-aux-Loups).
"I worked yesterday and could not see you. I am working again today; but I dine at La Borie; and upon leaving his house at eight o’clock, I will come to yours. I long for rest and for the days of Meudon: I always have twenty feet of this above my head (...)."
