Émile ZOLA. L.A.S., Médan November 26, 1871, to Marguerite Charpentier; 1page in-8. About an episode of Nana (to be published in 1879), to the wife of his publisher. "Thank you so much. You're wronging me. The ball will take place on the day of the contract; I'll arrange it. The idea of a party in a château is impossible, because I need the Muffat hotel in Paris. Anyway, all's well". He replied "with a refusal to Castellano, who asked me to take over Thérèse Raquin at the Chatelet, around December 20th"... Attached is a L.A.S. dated December 17, 1871 to a colleague, giving his "support for the Cloche dinner" (1p. in-8).
