Françoise RAUCOURT. L.A.S., Paris September 19, 1808, to Mon - Lot 273
Françoise RAUCOURT. L.A.S., Paris September 19, 1808, to Monsieur Tiste, "Inspecteur des voyages et artistes du Théâtre impérial français au Théâtre neuf à Florence"; 1page in-4, addressed. She is far from blaming Tiste "for having honor [...] all those I invest with my trust must be both gentle, just and brave"; but she complains about Thérigny: "The carriage of the actors' servants is none of your business and I forbid you to worry about it. I'm writing to Mr. Thérigny and offering him his withdrawal. I don't like dishonest people. I leave this evening for Germany, where I will accompany the Emperor. The trip will last five weeks"... [Mlle Raucourt is indeed leaving for the Erfurt congress; Napoleon had asked a number of actors to accompany him to perform a number of plays from the French theater for the crowned heads attending the congress, including Talma, Mlle Raucourt, Mlle Bourgoin, Mlle Duchesnois, etc.].
