Louise-Charlotte Escoffié, known as Mademoiselle MANTE (1799-1849). L.A.S., April 6 [1831], to Baron Taylor, commissaire royal près le Théâtre Français; 2pages in-4, addressed. She requests a three-day leave of absence to settle family matters (unsealing of a close relative). The repertoire has been combined for this purpose by Antoine Perrier, the first semainier. She has made arrangements with her comrades. She won't be able to return to Paris until Saturday: "You know my exactness and my duty, and you must think that it takes a circumstance like this, in which my interests are so seriously compromised, not to be able to hand it in". She learns this evening and with great pleasure that Baron Taylor has just been called again as royal commissioner near the Théâtre Français. "The play Charlotte Corday [by Regnier-Destourbet] can be scheduled for any day next week, I'm not the one to delay it"...
