LUYNES, duke of [probably Honoré d'Albert... - Lot 296 - Gros & Delettrez
LUYNES, duke of [probably Honoré d'Albert de Luynes, 8th duke of Luynes (1802-1867)]. L.A.S. Dampierre, "26" [19th c.]. 1 p. folio. Watermark "Pro Patria - J. H. Hessels". From the hunting of wolves at the castle of Dampierre. Very interesting mail concerning the wolves at Dampierre: "My crew has destroyed in your department and the contiguous one more than 20 wolves since one year. Are not the captains of the wolves and their lieutenants an obstacle for my dogs to continue the destruction of these animals this fall [...]". Luynes would like to continue this enterprise but without this authorization he will continue to hunt deer in his properties. "I believe that it would be a misfortune for the country.
