CHATEAUBRIAND François-René de. Autograph letter [to the Duchesse de Duras?] (London), 28 (April 1822?); 4 pages in-4, split at fold. There is a problem. Chateaubriand, ambassador to London, was troubled by the postscript in his correspondence: "I am convinced that there is no publisher, and that it is this abominable Dentu, who would sell his father for an ecu, who is making this scandalous enterprise".

"It seems that the English are going to recognize the Republic of Colombia. I dined yesterday at Count Lieven's (?) with Lord Liverpool, Lord Westmorland, Lord Harrowby, the Duke of Wellington and various ambassadors [...] the dinner was in my honor. I talked a lot with the ministers...".
