Antoine-Laurent de JUSSIEU (1748-1836), botanist. L.A.S., Oc - Lot 334
Antoine-Laurent de JUSSIEU (1748-1836), botanist. L.A.S., October 19, 1787, to M. POULTIER, "Huissier priseur"; 2 pages in-4, addressed with red wax seal (broken; seal of the Fontaine collection; engraved portrait enclosed). He is extremely dissatisfied with the services of Poultier concerning a matter that concerns his brother: "assured by your multiplied words and because you certified to me that all depended on you, I made take all the measures, the works are prepared consequently and all forbids us the possibility of looking for another place. Between honest people, one delivers the lodgings at least in the first days of the rent. The law has set a term for people who are negligent or in bad faith, this term expired 4 days ago and you know how harmful this delay is to us. This problem is "for you an affair of honor", and he is indignant to see him acting so softly and with so much negligence for the conclusion of this pressing business. Certain to be dealing with a gallant man, he is sure that he will find him "neither unjust in my complaint, nor too lively in my pursuits and counts on him to act promptly, "because all the slowness annoys us infinitely, and all these altercations take on the health of my brother. [It is a debt that I beg you to pay promptly to a creditor who is in dire straits and who nevertheless has enough strength left to reiterate to you the assurances of his perfect esteem", etc.
