LAENNEC René-Théophile (1781-1826)
L.A.S. "R.T. Laennec DM", April 3, 1808, to his father, Théophile LAENNEC, member of the Council of Prefecture, at Quimper| 2 pages in-4, address.
His brother Michaud, "in his capacity as your treasurer", has in his hands the funds of his district but warned him that the roofs of the house need repair. "Although my neighborhood was very necessary to the borough of my small businesses, and that one needs money when one wants in this country to transform the household of a student into that of a doctor who practices his profession in a somewhat honorable manner, I felt that it was better to delay the arrangement of my Parisian home for a few months than to leave our house in Quimper without a roof over it.
[...] My business is going well, by the way. Practical medicine brings me more money every day: but I am obliged to leave the Journal of Medicine absolutely. I'm leaving it on April 1st. It will be a hundred fewer pistols in my bag: but it is a necessary sacrifice. I would never have been able, if I would have kept this work, to finish my treatise on pathological anatomy, which I hope will be ready to be published at the end of the year..."... [The unpublished Treatise on Pathological Anatomy, or Exposition of the Visible Alterations Experienced by the Human Body in the State of Illness was not published until 1884].]
