Auguste de Forbin signed autograph letter to Argout Villeneuve acquisition Louvre

  

He received the copy he had left with Count d’Argout. “I have asked the Louvre museum’s expert commissioners to provide me with a report on the paintings offered for acquisition by Madame de Villeneuve.

Your interest will greatly add to the care I will devote to this matter.” He spoke with Count d’Argout and with Mr. Baron Delaitre about his correspondent’s wish “to take note of the objects kept in the Louvre storerooms (which have been reduced by the reestablishment of the Versailles museum).” It would be preferable to wait to carry out this operation “until the provisional status of the Civil List has ended.
