Gaëtan, Frédéric . [Marquis de La Rochefoucauld-Liancourt.] (1779-1863). Autograph letter, regarding Marie Dorval. An unusual letter regarding the performance of "Agrippine" with Marie Dorval. Dated 1843, the Marquis offers his box for the premiere to an unnamed guest who had expressed interest in attending.
Gaëtan was the third son of François Alexandre Frédéric, duc de la Rochefoucauld-Liancourt. A French nobleman, during Napoléon's brief 1815 return to power, he fled to Switzerland and tried to organise a volunteer army in support of the restored French monarchy of Louis XVIII. Later, he gave up politics and became a zealous philanthropist and wrote on social questions, notably on prison administration; he edited the works of La Rochefoucauld, and the memoirs of Condorcet; and he was the author of some vaudevilles, tragedies and poems.
Marie Dorval (1798-1849) was a popular French actress. She had a close and possibly amorous relationship with George Sand, who wrote roles for her, and their friendship was the subject of rumors chronicled by Gautier and Balzac, among others.
