Jules RENARD (1864-1910). L.A.S., Chaumot August 25, 1905, to a "dear poet"; 2 pages in-8 on La Gloriette letterhead. He encourages his correspondent to send "your short story to the Journal's contest. [...] the deadline is August 31. [...] Act, don't ask yourself at every moment what to do. That's what got me lost. Without all my hesitations, I would perhaps be as great a man as Mr. Claretie himself"... He adds that he has seen Vézelay: "It is very beautiful. - The terrace - because the church seemed to me too small. Ah! I need some!"
