Marquis de Sade (1740-1814) Autograph Letter Signed, 1 April [no year]. Single sheet of laid paper, inscribed on one side, verso used as self-envelope, with the addressee's name and address and fragments of a broken red wax seal. To Gaspard-Francois-Xavier Gaufridi [sometimes Gaufridy] (1757-1799), de Sade's longtime legal advisor, describing a complicated legal and financial incident involving six francs, the knowledge of de Sade's family, and a reimbursement. Old folds, toning, corners folded, 9 x 6 3/4 in. It's a little difficult to date this letter, as de Sade and Gaufridi had an extended and complicated relationship that extended for decades, involving many intricate legal and financial problems. The letter is one long complicated sentence; punctuation in this transcription was added. "Votre lettre m'a extrêmement touché mon cher Gofredi, je vois avec douleur tous les chagrins qu'ont vous donné et je suis prêt à trouver les moyens de les réparer. Si vous n'aviez pas parlé de ses six francs à quelqu'un, je ne vous les aurai point ôté. Mais célà étant venue à la connaissance de ma famille je suis obligé de vous prier de remettre le billet entre les mains de mon frère ou de ma mere. Mais ne vous en affligez pas, car vous en ferez serez bien dedamager parvenu que ceci ne transpire pas et qu'au contraire vous disiez que je vous ai abandonné. Vous saurez bientôt de quoi il est question. --Sade"
