LOUIS-PHILIPPE (1773-1850). L.A.S. with his initials. Neuilly, July 30, 1824. 4 pp. large in-4. Long and amusing letter of remonstrance from Louis-Philippe, exasperated by the future Charles X. Louis-Philippe reproaches H.R.H. Charles of France, future Charles X, for having had his people prepare a lunch at Le Tréport, causing "the enormous embarrassment of transporting everything in the morning to Le Tréport to bring it back in the evening to Eu" and exposes his grievances towards him: he was guilty of not having "warned by his Ecuyer the one whom I have charged with doing him the honors of the Château d'Eu. [...] Charles does not hear all that, but he should have kept to his orders and not gone to seek instructions and orders from the Prefects who were not supposed to give him any". Louis-Philippe complained about this impromptu lunch, this "childishness": "it is not appropriate to have my people trollied [a hunter's term] like those of a restaurant owner who is told to send a dinner party to such and such a place". Louis-Philippe then evokes the hanging of a portrait of Marie de Médicis: "if Valentin does not see an empty place, one has only to put it in the Garde meuble while waiting for my arrival", the duchess of Berri, Madame de Chantérac, the duke of Nemours, the pregnancy of the duchess of Orleans, he embraces his children who are at the sea baths, etc.
