Abraham-Joseph Bénard dit FLEURY. 2 L.A.S., April 2 and May 18, 1819, to M. Collin, avocat aux conseils d'état; 2pages and a quarter in-4, addresses. He thanks him for taking care of him: "if I had to praise the comedie's procedures, I would gladly sacrifice the small sum that may come to me, but as I have received nothing but dishonesty from them, I don't think I owe them the slightest consideration. It seems to me that Melle Mars treats them severely, I am far from approving of her conduct, it is an abuse of her talent and of the public's favor, but I am not upset by the lesson, it is to be hoped that this event will make them more just towards honest people"... [Fleury retired from the Comédie-Française in 1818]. Fleury spoke of the married life of his daughter, who in 1816 had married Dr. Boirot-Dessaliers, a doctor at the waters of Néris-les-Bains: "I foresee that my daughter will never be happy with this man, and this is not the price I expected for all my sacrifices. From the way Mr Boirot wants to give up his house in Néris and the furniture, I have only one fear: that he has already committed it, perhaps below its value; one must fear everything from a man who has so little conduct"...
