Scope and Content
MS 10380 comprises a letter, written in French, dictated by Jacques Arago and signed by him in pencil, offering his correspondent the four volume 'Souvenirs' account of the Freycinet voyage. The letter is undated except for the month, September, but Arago comments that he has been blind for nearly four years, which suggests it was written in 1841.
Background
Watercolourist and marine draughtsman. Jacques Arago was employed on Louis de Freycinet's officially-sponsored French expedition around the world aboard the Uranie in 1817-20. Further biographical information available at:
