Jean-Baptiste ISABEY (1767–1855). 5 letters, dated 1824 and undated, to his friend Holier (56 Rue de Provence); 1 page in-8 each, with addresses (one letter has a small tear). Invitation to dinner (Sunday, January 6). “The devil is meddling (for this is his play),” he receives tickets for the Théâtre de la Renaissance, even though Holier was supposed to come “to taste our fine pâté” (March 3). New Year’s greetings (Thursday, 1824). He dines every Monday at Corvisart’s, in La Garenne. “Our little Henry is no more. See at home how my friends’ glances accompany the remains of my dear little friend. We are truly miserable” (Monday, March 9).
