Charles-Geneviève de Beaumont, chevalier d'ÉON (1728-1810). L.A.S. "La Chre D'Eon", London June 8, 1786, to M. Genêt, premier commis des Affaires étrangères à Versailles; 3pages in-8, addressed (2 small tears with slight tears). Concerning "a country house which may be for rent in the vicinity of the forest of Sennard and on the banks of the Seine and fully furnished for an old and wealthy English Catholic family whom our good Queen of France [Marie-Antoinette] has the goodness to protect and who has addressed me as an old acquaintance [....] I have been doing quite well since my arrival here, I am progressing slowly in my affairs because I have to plead against the present Lord Ferrers to get back what the late Lord Ferrers owed me. [...] I would already like to be back in France [...] you know how all business and companies are going here. We spend a lot of time and money pretending to have fun, and to learn. A month in Paris is better than a year in London"... D'Eon asks that she be "remembered by the entire household of Mr & Madame Campan"...
