LOUIS-PHILIPPE, roi des Français (1773-1850)

L.A.S.: "L. P.", November 7, 1830, addressed to André Dupin (1783-1865), the famous jurisconsult and orator, 1 page, in-folio, text in French, creases, but overall good condition. Enclosed is the signed autograph minute of Dupin's reply to the king, dated November 8, 1830, evoking the July Revolution, and a signed autograph letter from Dupin. "I don't want to go to bed, however tired I may be, without having the satisfaction of announcing to you myself that I have just named you Chevalier of the Legion of Honor. Believe me that it is with all my heart that I have done an act that I owed you not only as King, but as Duke of Orleans and that I enjoy having been able to give you this testimony of your public services & this mark of my friendship." "Sire, on waking, my first act is to thank V. M. for her kindness in making me a Knight of the Legion of Honor, and especially for the letter by which she deigns to announce this favor to me. This letter becomes for me the official diploma of my nomination; I place it among my most precious titles; next to these three colors that the Lieutenant-General of the Kingdom allowed me to take on his desk at the Palais-Royal in exchange for my tricolor cockade, on Saturday July 31st at 6am (one of those dates that one never forgets!) Sire, I pray to heaven that I may be made a knight of the Legion of Honor.) Sire, I pray to heaven that the King will not need the help of these friends too much; but I also beg S.M. to remain convinced that, in addition to all of them, the Duc d'Orleans' lawyer, who is now the King's Attorney General, will always be the first to defend Louis-Philippe, in support of the national cause of August 9, 1830. I have the honor to be with the deepest respect and purest devotion, Sire de V. M. the most obedient and faithful".
