Description:
These are the letters which White found with Redier and set aside to be copied by Doysie's copyists as Dossier 3.I (see White catalogue 3W) Jardin states (1963): "Ces copies, faites pour la plupart par Redier, correspondent-elles a des originaux egares? Dans l'etat actuel de mon information, voici ce que je pense:
- les manuscrits des lettres a ses parents et a ses freres n'ont pas et‚ retrouves;
- par contre des lettres a des cousins (Mme de Leusse) ou des amis (Ernest de Chabrol) existent chez leurs heritiers ou les acquereurs de ces bibliotheques."
