SAND George (1804-1876)
Autograph letter signed to Gustave FLAUBERT, on embossed letterhead "GS" of Nohant 6 March 1876| 2 pages in-8.
George Sand wishes to offer Flaubert a theatre seat. "I am writing to you in a hurry this morning because I have just received from Mr. Perrin notice of the first performance of the revival of Victorine's Marriage, a play by me at the French theatre. I have neither the time to go nor the desire to leave at short notice, but I would have liked to send some friends and he did not offer me a single seat. She wrote to
Flaubert for a place in the orchestra. "If you do not receive it, know that it is not my fault [...]. I therefore embrace you while running so as not to miss the mail.
Beautiful late letter - a few months before his death - to his lifelong friend.
Published in N°17762 of the Georges Lubin correspondence.
