98 lines on three sides of a folded quarto sheet, integral address leaf retaining stamps & seal; old folds. A wonderful survival. A charming letter from Alexander Penrose Gordon-Cumming (1816-1866) to his mother Lady Gordon-Cumming, 1795-1842. Lord and Lady Gordon-Cumming of Altyre, Scotland, had seven sons and six daughters, of which Alexander - the author of this letter - was the eldest. The family clearly enjoyed a close relationship, as is evidenced in this affectionate account of Alexander's adventures and misadventures in Paris in the winter of 1836, which also includes a good amount of gossip and a few cheeky requests for money. Alexander is enjoying the life of a young aristocrat in Paris and is taking full advantage of the events and intrigues that the city has to offer, though he does express readiness to depart, writing rather pointedly that 'nothing is now delaying me in Paris but waiting for a supply of money to defray the home journey.' He is disappointed that many of the public museums are closed, but has still managed to occupy himself with various fetes and balls, along with a few 'very nice girls'. He supplies a vivid description of the Promenade du Boeuf Gras writing that it 'was a very gay day in Paris' and that the 'town seemed actually turned upside down, all the boulevards for four miles in length seem to be full of people in costumes and masks [] it seemed an odd way of passing the Sunday'. Turning his attention home, Alexander hints at rumours of marriage woes between Lady Charlotte and the Duke of Norfolk, and wonders about a match between Lady Sophia Lennox and a man called Walter (in fact Lennox married Lord Thomas Cecil two years later). Perhaps the most significant revelation in the letter is that Alexander has met a Peer at dinner one night who gave him a ticket to hear Giuseppe Marco Fieschi speak in his defence in the House of Peers. Fieschi had attempted to assassinate the King of France in July 1836, and the trial, a spectacle that ended on February 16th, was so high-profile it brought Parisian society to a standstill. Alexander's postulation that '[Fieschi], Pepin and Morey are sure to be condemned' was accurate, and the three men were executed by guillotine four days after this letter. Alexander writes that 'there are at present a very bad set of English in Paris', and that it is making it difficult for him to be embraced by 'the societé'. He recounts the story of a man named Murray who had been staying at his hotel, but 'lost all his ready money (130£) at a hell and started next day for England having cheated the master of the hell by giving him a draught on a bank here where he had no money'. This reference to gambling and cheating is an ironic one, given that more than 50 years later, Alexander's son William would become embroiled in the 'Royal baccarat scandal', one of the most noteworthy gambling scandals and trials in British history. The recipient of this letter, Alexander's mother Lady Gordon-Cumming was a horticulturist, palaeontologist and scientific illustrator who worked with many of the leading natural scientists of the time. Becoming interested in the fossils that she found around her estate in Scotland, she began a correspondence with Louis Agassiz, William Buckland, and Roderick Murchison, all of whom visited her and her collection at her home; Agassiz even named a new species he discovered after her. It is exceptional that Lady Gordon-Cumming gained such a positive reputation in a male-dominated field despite having twelve children to whom she was clearly close. Alexander signs off his letter rather cheekily: 'Send a little money. Love and thousands of kisses to dearest Papa and all the bairnes, Dearest Mamma, your most affectionate son'. Lady Gordon-Cumming sadly died from complications following the birth of her thirteenth child while still working on her fossil collection. This letter is a lovely reflection of the affection between a son and his mother from a period where family relationships - especially among the upper classes - are often considered cold and disconnected.
