Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly – Signed Autograph Letter

Jules BARBEY D'AUREVILLY (1808 - 1889), French writer

Autograph letter signed to Marie Escudier director of Le Réveil. Tuesday June 8 (1858); 1 page in-8° in red ink on mourning paper. Envelope.

Barbey d'Aurevilly discusses with humor on his next article: "Does Granier take Houssaye as he took Enfantin?...I would be very happy to be clear on that. I will make my trumeau with Capefigue, but the Tircis Houssaie would not hurt. Only I warn you that I will put his staff... in his ass! If you respect this 18th century bottom, I don't want to touch it poorly, but with my boots up! I will keep La Houssaie for the country like Enfantin, and it will appear on Tuesday. So I need a word from you this evening and for Saturday's issue, I warn you that you will have four pages and maybe five. Do you find too many? All the best to you…”
