BOILEAU-DESPREAUX, Nicolas (1636–1711). Autograph letter “Despreaux,” February 6, 1701, to Charles-René d’HOZIER; 1 page, in-8 format, with address. He sends him the book *De confessione auriculari*. “I am deeply indebted to you for the care you take in interceding on my behalf with Monsieur de CAUMARTIN.
