George SAND. L.A.S. "George", [Nohant 29 May 1847], to her friend Rozanne Bourgoing; 2 pages in-8, envelope.
Announcement of the marriage of her daughter Solange to the sculptor Clésinger.
"Dear Rozane, I have not had (and still do not have) the time to write to you to announce the marriage of my daughter to an eminent artist and a charming boy, Clesinger, a statuary. She is happy, enchanted, they adore each other, and they have just left for Paris, where I will join them as soon as an accident to my leg will allow me. We will all be back here on June 10. I don't want you to know about this family event by a simple letter of announcement. I would like to give you more details. But I am sick, and I'm overwhelmed with other things. I only have time to tell you that I am happy and I know that you will be pleased. I love you, you know that. Kiss your husband for me, and if you see Ponsard, give him a handshake for me. She would also like to warn Victor de Laprade: "He is a person whom I also esteem and whom I love very much"...
Correspondence, t. VII, n° 3661.
