DE BROGLIE (Jacques Victor Albert, duc de). - Lot 123
DE BROGLIE (Jacques Victor Albert, duc de). Born in Paris. 1821-1901. French historian, diplomat and politician. L.A.S. "Albert de Broglie" to a gentleman. Paris, January 20, 1850. 2 pp. in-8. Paris, January 20, 1850 Dear Mr. Broglie My father has asked me to appeal to your benevolence, which he has so often shown in the past, to recommend a young man in whom he takes a keen interest. Young Louvel, who has studied extremely well in Caen, is due to take his Baccalauréat ès-lettres exam tomorrow. If his extreme shyness is not reassured by some kindness, it is to be feared that a refusal will cause him to miss a year of medical studies already begun and delay his career indefinitely. This result would be all the more regrettable as he certainly has all the knowledge necessary to take the Baccalauréat exam, and only lacks the confidence to take it with certainty. My father trusts, Sir, that you will forgive him this importunity, and I am pleased that he has given me this opportunity to offer you the renewed assurance of my high esteem. Albert de Broglie
