November 9, 1866, to Charles JOLIET: "You told me one day that my verses were sympathetic to you. Too bad, I abuse them, and I send them all to you to read, begging you to give them a hand to get out of the crowd of books"... June 22 [1877], to the Marquis de CHENNEVIÈRES, recommending the miniaturist Lucy Ferenbach for the World's Fair... December 4 [1881 ?], to a friend, informing him about the character, family, fortune, social situation and talent of Jacques NORMAND: "a charming and kind boy, more than well-off, rich [...] As a poet, he is not equal to Orpheus| but he had some nice successes. [...] Correct and without genius| we must marry him"... Monday [1883?], to a friend, on his application to the French Academy: "I am not the man of intrigues, you know that. If my competitor has manoeuvred so well, let him triumph! I will be the first to be delighted [...]. I will have made, for the first time, the pilgrimage of the literary Mekka"...
Saturday [October 1887?], to a friend, a candidate at the Academy: "The wind that blows today is for Claretie succeeding Caro and d'Haussonville at Vieil Castel. There will be many other candidates"... September 24 [1890], to Louis
DÉPRET: "I have hardly worked, which always grieves me, and, moreover, I make a crime of it, because the year is heavy for me from a financial point of view, and the only "Copy" gives a little money. In short, I'm a little crazy"...
Wednesday [July 1893], on the candidacy he accepted in the Charente, "to take the place, momentarily vacant, of my friend
Déroulède"... Sunday, recommending, for a prize at the Salon, the painting by Georges
ROCHEGROSSE, whose father-in-law Banville is one of his best friends... Other letters
