L.A.S. "Eug. Delacroix", Thursday [5 December 1835], to Gustave PLANCHE| 1 page in-8, address.
On his work decorating the Salon du Roi at the Palais-Bourbon. "I have interrupted my work because of the darkness of the days| I am not angry, moreover, to forget for a while what I have done. As soon as I return and it is agreeable to you I will let you know. Besides, if you have a moment, come and see me at my place| I am working on a rather large painting [The Battle of Taillebourg]. If you come, let it be at the end of the day| my models come in the morning and I take advantage of the days as much as I can"...
