MÉRIMÉE PROSPER (1803-1870) ÉCRIVAIN
L.A., Tuesday, [to Sophie DUVAUCEL]; 2 pages and a half in-8. He jokes about Dr. KOREFF, whose "ordinary exactness" was the cause of his missing a visit to the Jardin des Plantes and an apple pie. "The Baron Hügel of whom you speak, and who seems to me a man of wit and taste, and you know why, is he the same good Hügel who last year was brought to you by Dr. Koreff, and presented to you as an irresistible man? Since your letter I have admired him prodigiously. I never suspected, on seeing him, that he was so amiable. For my part I will not resist him. Please ask your doctor to explain to you what Omeopathic medicine is. I have not enough paper left to explain the theory of omeopathy. Just know that Dr. Koreff, had in his pocket last Saturday 154 medicines, by means of which he can omeopathically cure two million patients. He says that this is a new phase of medicine. Read farce"... 8 L.A.S. from Cécile SOREL are attached; plus 10 miscellaneous documents.
