Autograph letter in French, signed by him as "Cuvillon", dated in Paris, January 25, 1843, to the Minister of the Interior, giving some autobiographical notes to be taken into consideration for a vacancy as violin professor, as follows:
"... In 1826 I won the first prize for violin at the Conservatoire, and since that time I have never ceased to substitute for Monsieur Habeneck, my master, when he could not hold his class (...) I worked on composition with Monsieur Reicha and I continued my serious studies to deepen the aesthetics of my art to acquire an authority that my age could not have given me and to transmit the healthy traditions of the beautiful school of Viotti and the Baillus...".
Size is 8 x 11.9 inches, three written pages, folds, some dirt, and creases, in overall very good condition (see scans provided).
