Ulric GUTTINGUER (1785-1866).
L.A.S., Saint-Germain 26 June 1837, [to Lieutenant Henry FERAY, at Constantinople]; 4 pages in-4.
He imagines that a letter that arrives "to the Turkish or Bedouin" is always welcome: "Where do you make this principle of the voluptuousness of the Franciscan outfielder prevail? How do you bear this sun of the East and how do you mature in it? "»... He teases him about a non-existent wife... "On my account, I'm going tonight to Madame de Salvandy's. ... These are verses to the King that I was introduced to, verses that were loved at the Thuileries and that earned me many graces. I met your sister [Julie Feray, Mrs. de Salvandy] whom I fear I may have bothered, I had taken my moment badly. She was leaving for Fontainebleau where we had the rebirth of monarchical ideas. The people have taken to it, I assure you, and this marriage [of the Duke of Orleans] is doing very well.... He still speaks of his establishment in Saint-Germain, of their friends Mme de Beaurepaire and the Blérancourt family, of a visit by Alfred [Tattet] and Mr. Dejean, then asks him, if possible, to "bring back one of these good arms of the country well soaked and more solid than brilliant, but you will have enough of all the orders of beauty"....
