MAUPASSANT Guy de (1850-1893)
L.A.S. "Guy de Maupassant", 17 rue Clauzel [1880], to a lady| 3 pages in-8.

He thanks her for her letter, "but I confess that Boule de Suif seems to me difficult to change. In literature, I have no modesty. When a word, whatever it is, seems to me to express a thing well, to give the right image, I take it without hesitation. What did I need?
