Description
Letter written on behalf of Baron von Stockhorn, probably by his second, 2pp., sm. 4to, 31st August 1809, challenging Monsieur la Martiniere to a duel to the death, adding that he would have demanded satisfaction for serious crimes today but for certain affairs he had to conclude, in imperfect French, traces of former mounting along left edge, recto. The nature of the dispute is unclear, but the challenge is unambiguous: "We will exchange pistol shots until one or the other is no more, one or the other is riddled with bullets, we will continue until the inevitable death of one or the other. This will teach you to meddle with a baron of Germany."
