All letters are addressed to Foucher's friend, the writer Alcide Hyacinthe Dubois de Beauchesne, and mostly written in 1827, when Foucher was still employed at the War Department in Paris. In most of the letters he asks Beauchesne for tickets, but also for other favours: "[...] c'est jeudi à 8 heures, mon cher Beauchesne, que je vous ferai subir un des plus rudes travaux que je puisse vous commander... je vous lirai les trois premiers actes d'un drame [...]". - In 1828 Foucher met Alexandre Soumet, who advised him to read the play "Amy Robsart" by his brother-in-law Victor Hugo.
