Félicité Robert de Lamennais - Signed Autograph Letter on a Legal Matter

  
Félicité Robert de Lamennais - Autographed letter signed regarding a legal matter, L'Avenir, debts, and a philosophical disagreement - 1833. Autographed letter signed by Félicité Robert de Lamennais, dated February 2, 1833.

Written in brown ink on two quarto pages, with a handwritten address on the verso, postal stamps, and a wax seal. It is addressed to a close acquaintance, likely a family member, and discusses several points: the judicial settlement of a dispute, the difficulties in liquidating L'Avenir, debts owed to subscribers, and a strong disagreement with a certain Comb regarding the interpretation of his philosophy.

In a personal and resigned tone, sometimes ironic, Lamennais provides here a direct glimpse into his practical and intellectual concerns during a period of intense turmoil for him.
