CHAUSSIER
(Hector, 1769-1837, French Playwright, Writer and Doctor)
Autograph Letter Signed to Monsieur Siran about treatments for gout
saying he had given “a box at your address, containing several medicines. I will tell you how to use. 1° You will take a pill No. 1 in the evening and morning. You will take care to leave a distance of two hours and a half between the time you take this pill and the time you eat. 2° You will wash your legs and feet in the evening with the liquor contained in the bottle. 3° You will apply the plasters that I gave you to your knees and you will leave them until the skin is covered with small pimples that release a whitish humor. Then you will remove the plasters and wash the area with a light decoction of warm marshmallow. 4° If gout is felt, you will use an infusion of lime flowers and in a litre of this infusion you will dissolve one of the doses labelled herbal tea. 5° If the gout affects the shoulders, chest, or kidneys, you will bring back to the legs by washing them with schilitic vinegar in which sea salt has been dissolved. Please, Sir, to keep me informed of everything you experience. And when you write to me, I would be grateful to remind me what you have done. I also ask you not to be afraid to go into the most minute details about everything you experience, and to count on my accuracy and promptness in answering you...” written inside a printed letter headed “Gout Healing House”, 3 sides 4to., Rue St Lazare No. 56, Chaussée-d’Autin, Paris, no date, circa

Excellent Long Autograph Letter Signed to Sir Michael STEWART
(1911-1994, KCMG, OBE, HM Ambassador to Greece and Minister at the British Embassy in Washington) thanking him for “all your kindness to me in Ankara. I am afraid that I became a permanent diner-out at your house, and that I filled the rest of your days with Cyprus affairs, but how grateful I was to be able to turn to you at all hours for sustenance and sympathy and support. I return to-day from the terrors of Turkish Ministers to find everyone speaking of imminent EOKA activity. It is a hard life, but I shall remember my four days in Ankara as an unreal but exciting interlude. Most of all I was impressed to see how your team worked and specially I was full of admiration for your quickness and steadiness and understanding. I wish you had more promising material than the Cyprus problem...”, 2 sides A4, Government House, Cyprus headed paper, no date but annotated

Autograph Letter Signed to “My dear Jessie”
regretting that he “can’t as I have to come to town on 14th to attend Electrical Concessions in Africa Trust meetings. But it won’t matter a bit as the peripatetic P.L. speakers can keep it going for any length of time. Also it isn’t much use firing off African speeches anywhere out of London. We hope to be down at Ditchingham next Thursday...”, 2 sides 8vo., 27 Duke Street, St. James’s, headed paper, 29th March no year
