Nine letters written by Marsilio Landriani to Swiss meteorologist, physicist, and geologist Jean-André de Luc (1727-1817), addressed as "Monsieur" and "Mon cher Monsieur" in their salutations. The letters, which are in French, relate to Landrianis work as a physicist, and address topics including electricity, meteorology, hygrometry, and various experiments. Those dated 1783, 1786, and 1787 were written from Milan, Italy, and those dated 1788 were written from London, England (two letters), or from an unspecified location (one letter). Six letters bear red wax seals, and two show traces of seals that were removed. Three letters include the name Landriani or M. Landriani handwritten in red ink at the top.
