[Louis-Henri-Pascal de Saint Félix, baron de Faugères, naturalist.] Two Autograph Letters Signed (both 'Le Baron de Faugeres'), in French, to the botanist [L'Abbé Pourret

Both letters 2pp., 8vo, and both bifoliums. The pair in fair condition, aged and worn, with slight damage to second leaf of one letter from breaking of seal, and offsetting to a blank page on the other. The first letter, thanking him for a gift and expressing eagerness to meet him when he visits Montpellier, is addressed on reverse of second leaf to 'Monsieur L'Abbé Pourret chez Mr. Bosquet negotiant | a Nismes'. In the second, which does not carry an address, he states that he is presenting him with two copies 'du catalogue de ma collection', and conveys an enquiry which he wishes him to make 'chez Moutard Librarie de la reine rue des Mathurins' [the Paris printer Nicolas-Léger Moutard]: 'je vous prierai de passer chez ce libraire, de scavoir de luy sil imprime dans le format in 8o toutes les ordonances qui sortent des Bureaux de la Marine'.
