Maurice ROLLINAT (1846-1903). L.A.S., Fresselines October 5, 1913, to a poet; 2 pages in-8. Beautiful letter of poetic advice written a few days before his death on October 26.My dear Poëte, Please accept my compliments on your lovely verses, unfortunately marred by the bre de sombre and the insufficient rhyme of maudit with meurtris: you see I'm speaking frankly! Remove all the little flaws like that from your manuscript, and it will be better than so many others, perfectly publishable. If you come to Argenton for the forthcoming Easter vacations, please let me know well in advance the day and time of your visit to Fresselines, as I'm expecting people at that time, and I'm sure I won't be very free"...
