Relevance to Marie

• 083.0096 (3 November 1878): the Gavinis' nephew asks «le député Eschassériaux fils» for gallery tickets to the Chamber.
• 084.0029–0038 (15 January 1879): introduced to Marie at the Opéra by the Gavinis: «Eschassériaux, fils du baron et député pareillement … Eschassériaux, René comme l'appelle Mme Gavini a une des plus belles têtes qu'on puisse voir», but badly dressed. Marie writes him a mocking note about his frock coat, addressed «à M. R. Eschassériaux député» (084.0033–0035), and admits she found him handsome because something in him recalled Cassagnac (084.0038).
