MADAME ROLAND: (1754-1793) Born Marie-Jeanne Phlipon, also known as Manon Roland de la Platiere. French Revolutionary salonniere and Writer. Guillotined. Very rare and one of the last letters written by Manon before being executed, A.L.S., with paraph, four pages, 8vo, from the prison of Sainte-Pélagie, [mid-October 1793], to Jany, in French. A letter of very interesting content where Madame Roland confides her notebooks of memories and her secret love for Buzot. Madame Roland states `Your sweet letter, dear Jany, has done to me as much good as your kind conversation. Tender pity is the real balm of a sick heart. I can feel the delicacy that makes you loath to ever publish my secret.. Personally, I hold absolutely and only to the truth. I have never had the slightest temptation to be esteemed more than I am worth. I want that people know me as I am.´ further referring to Jean Jacques Rousseau, saying "J.J. never seemed to be guilty of his confession." Madame Roland further explains to her correspondent her situation with her jealous husband, and refers to her lover Buzot stating in p art `I am not intending to apologize, but I am convinced that the jealousy of the unfortunate R. alone, (referring to Roland, her husband) made my secret pierced by confidences… Do you believe that he had written about it, with all the outburst and falsehood of an irritated mind that hates his rival and wants to deliver him to public loathing? Can you imagine how much these writings inflamed my indignation and the feeling for how much he is unfairly mistreated? Yes, you saw him, and you portrayed him well. You will find his painting portrait and also his writings in a box that you will be given. It is my dearest belonging… Keep them safe in order to pass them on one day..´ Further again, Madame Roland refers to her fate saying `As far as I´m concerned, it´s all over. Do you know the disease that the English call heart-breaken?(sic) I have it, without cure, and I do not want to delay the effects, fever is growing, I hope it won´t be long. My freedom will never be restored to me.´ Before concluding, Manon expresses her concerns for Buzot´s fate and expects he will be able to reach America, and says goodbye to `Jany, my only friend who brings me comfort, goodbye!´ A historical letter of very interesting content. In very fine condition. VG Madame Roland´s correspondent, Jany, was the surname of French Geographer Edme Mentelle (1730-1816) a supporter of the French revolution.Letter provenance from former collection of the Marquis de l´Aigle.Madame Roland was known for her intelligence and political analyses. A good lobbyist and negotiator. Her salon was one of the most important meeting places for politicians. When her husband Jean-Marie Roland de la Platiere (1734-1793) unexpectedly became Minister of the Interior in 1792 under King Louis XVI, her political influence grew. She was involved in decisions about political appointments, and was in charge of a bureau set up to influence public opinion in France.
