POOT, Hubert Korneliszoon (1689-1733). Autograph letter to Joan de Haes. Abtswoude (Delft), 18 Oct. 1721. 15 lines in ink on fold. leaf, r° only, signed.
Hubert Korneliszoon Poot (1689-1733) and Rotterdam merchant Joan de Haes (1685-1723) were both prominent Dutch poets in the early 18th century and shared a close friendship rooted in their literary pursuits. The relationship is well-documented through mutual dedications and correspondences. In this letter Poot expresses his gratitude for receiving two "schoone bijschriften" from de Haes, which were sent to him by David van Hoogstraten (1658-1724).€ 100
