Hector BERLIOZ (1803-1869). L.A.S., Grenoble August 20 [1832], to his friend Humbert Ferrand, lawyer in Belley (Ain); 1page in-4, addressed. He will leave on Wednesday for Les Abbrets: "I'll be there at 8 o'clock in the evening; then if you can pick me up on Thursday morning everything will be fine. If not, I'll walk to Bellay. For I'm so brave of the heat that I walked here from the Côte recently, leaving at 10 in the morning. You see that the Italian sun has tanned me"... [Berlioz, on his return from his Roman stay at the Villa Medici, had stopped to see his parents at La Côte Saint-André]. Attached is an old copy of another letter to Ferrand (November 29), with an extract from another letter (July 6, 1861).
