Alexandre DUMAS son (1824-1895). 40. L.A.S., 1841-1894, to friends, colleagues and journalists; 60 pages in-8 or in-12.
Appointments, lunches and dinners, rehearsals, recommendations, theater tickets, etc.
May 4, 1841 to a bookseller, asking him, with the authorization of his father André Chénier... and without his permission "the 1st volume of his theater".
[1859]. He asked Michel Lévy " the right to reproduce La Dame aux Perles - Diane de Lys - Grangette - Un cas de rupture - le roman d'une femme - Tristan le roux - Trois hommes forts. I insisted in my new treaty to reserve this right to the Société des Gens de lettres".
He writes to a friend who is going to Italy: "drink to my health a glass of Asti wine - two even if it is hot".
There are also 9 letters to Emmanuel Gonzalès, about the Société des Gens de Lettres, 2 to Adrien Marx, one to Gaston Calmette (December 10, 1894) where he feels neither strong nor competent to write an article about Pasteur, 3 to the painter Alexis Vollon (1881-1887) whose paintings he buys, 2 letters to his daughter Janine, etc.
