RENOIR PIERRE-AUGUSTE: (1841-1919) French Impressionist Artist. A good and lengthy A.L.S., `Renoir´, three pages, 8vo, n.p., n.d., to an unidentified friend, in French. Renoir explains to his correspondent his meetings with Mr & Mrs Blanche, Mr. Lemoine and Madame Roper, referring to an antique pendulum purchase, to the progress of young painter, and even transcribing exact expressions of his interlocutors, and states in part `..I was introduced to Mr. Lemoine, who offered to me a cigar and invited me to visit him, I feel flattered for this.. but what I have to tell you is even more interesting, this is the fact. While I was strolling in Dieppe at Madame Ropert… I find a Louis XVI pendulum, I tell Madame Ropert, - this one is for Madame Blanche at least, - she will probably like it very much, but she has not seen it yet as I only received it yesterday. I have told her and I think she will like it. - How much. 300. All right. I´ll let you know tomorrow. I was going to ask you to go and watch it, in case I am doing a big folly, and if I was not buying a pendulum worth 15 francs...´ further saying `She asked me about your son´s paintings, and I responded he was making big progress, then she said "have you bought bibelots?", and I responded with serious convincing voice "I have bought a pendulum". Imagine Madame Blanche´s face exclaiming "I am sure it is my pendulum". I did not frown, and I responded "I don´t know, it is a cuckoo clock". She sighs.. and did not talk to me all through the evening.. Early this morning I went to see Madame Ropert and told her that I buy the pendulum but do not… if not I will not come back here ever again.´ and before concluding on a post-scriptum saying `After all it is expensive, but I hope I will not be ennoyed because of my three hundred francs.´ Very small and professional repair to the fold, otherwise G £2500-3500

A very cleanly written lengthy letter, Cochon stating in part `I watch, my dear General, with same sadness as you, the direction that since a while the sense of Public spirit is taking, and am ready to prove with all my correspondence that I have done all I could with the power I hold to prevent the malicious trying to take advantage of the recent events…The government only wishes, and can´t do anything else but wishing, the consolidation of the Republic, and I support this as much as my poor capabilities allow me to do so. I am indignant reading about the horrors and the lies against the Republic that all these Royalist journals, paid with foreign gold, are vomiting. Several have been arrested and denounced to the Public Prosecutor…but they are released by the tribunals, and this will keep on happening until we have a repressive law for press abuses.´ further again saying `..I am fully aware of the dangers that the Republic is facing, with enemies under different masks ready to attack from the inside of the country. In Lyon, in the department of the Calvados, the Royalists are showing up audaciously.. What else can I do? Tribunals are not under my competence, and the police has so short capacities that it is even astonishing that they can achieve what they do.´ Cochon de Lapparent also responds to Hoche´s questions regarding the last executions and the Colonnes Mobiles, stating `You talk to me about the way the last conspirators have been judged. We have material evidences and also written ones of their conspiracy…and regarding the formation of the Colonnes Mobiles I have issued a circular, sent to all departments, according to the Directory orders…The Colonnes Mobiles could be very useful…and I am going to send orders to the Chouanne departments..´ Paper with watermark. A letter of very interesting content. Very small overall minor age wear, otherwise VG £600-900 Lazare Hoche (1768-1797) French General of the Revolutionary army.
