Set of handwritten letters addressed to "Monsieur Breguet in - Lot 90
Set of handwritten letters addressed to "Monsieur Breguet in Paris" and to various people.
The first dated November 11, 1824, "Monsieur Breguet à Paris ... I have received your letter of yesterday ... the three watches that I asked you to entrust to me to send to Naples or to show to the person who has expressed a desire to buy one ... please receive my best regards" signed with a pencil note "Rothschild".
The second, which is incomplete but not addressed to anyone, bears a small pencil note reading "1827" and the name "Mr. Breguet" in the text. The whole is illegible, as is the signature, which we assume to be "Humboldt".
The third, incomplete and not addressed to anyone, is annotated on the back with "Paris le 1 juin 1825 Humboldt"; all but the signature "H. Humboldt" are illegible.
The fourth dated August 3, 1830, Bordeaux "Monsieur Breguet à Paris j'ai reçu monsieur votre lettre du 31 juillet, je désire que l'effet dont elle accuse réception ait été accepté par la maison rougemont, la maison Cabares ne paye pas depuis ce matin plusieurs fortes maisons ne payent pas non plus ... le 30 j'ai touché 2'400 pour la vente de la 4794 ... recevez monsieur les assurances de. All my consideration" signed Ducom, who was Breguet's agent in Bordeaux at the time.
The fifth dated July 29, 1830, Havre "Monsieur Breguet à Paris en réponse à votre ... honorée du 24 je vous dirai monsieur que le navire qui devait porter le chronomètre du Capt Brigand est parti le 25 en conséquence gardez le chronomètre je vous le demanderai quand il en sera temps ... j'ai l'honneur d'être Monsieur votre dévoué serviteur" signed Ferey who was at the time an agent for Breguet in the city of Havre.
