ROUSSEAU Jean-Jacques (1712 - 1778) L.A.S. "Renou", [Monquin] Saturday, July 29 [1769, to Marquis de BEFFROY, Governor of Bourgoin]| 1 page in-8 (light marginal stains on one edge).
[In August 1768, Rousseau, under the pseudonym Renou, took refuge in Bourgoin, where he married Thérèse Levasseur on August 30]. "Returning [...] two days ago from a short trip, I have been waiting until now without success for the moment to go and thank you and
Madame la Marquise for the honor of your memory and your kindnesses both to Made Renou and to me. I shall not delay, Sir, in fulfilling this duty with the utmost eagerness"...
The botanist adds in a postscript: "I was unable to uproot the
Ornitogales although I have worked for it, but on my journey I was given a bulb of the Fly Orchis, to which I hope you will be kind enough to give a small corner of your garden".
