Interesting letter to a Mr. Eckard, possibly the later historian Jean Eckard (1761–1839), concerning a recommendation that she has brought forward for him. Unfortunately, the letter remains relatively vague as the "affair" itself and the recipient of the letter of recommendation, whose response Vigée-Lebrun wants to convey in person, are not specified: "Vous saurez, Monsieur, que j'ai porté votre recommandation. J'en ai parlé avec l'intérêt que dois inspirer M. votre frère, et aussi par celui que vous inspirez de même.
