SAND George (1804 - 1876) L.A.S. "G. Sand", Nohant September 7, 1875, to Gustave FLAUBERT| 2 pages in-8 with her GS cipher.
Beautiful letter in which she comforts her friend Flaubert.
You desolate yourself, you discourage yourself, you desolate me too. I'd rather you complained than kept quiet, dear friend, and I don't want you to stop writing to me. I have big sorrows too, and often. My old friends die before me. One of my dearest [Jules BOUCOIRAN], the man who raised Maurice and whom I was waiting to help me raise my granddaughters, has just died almost suddenly. It's a deep sorrow. Life is a series of blows to the heart. But duty is there: we must walk and do our task without upsetting those who suffer with us. - I absolutely ask you to be willing and not indifferent to the sorrows we share with you. Tell us that the calm has returned and the horizon has brightened. We love you, sad or happy"...
