DREYFUS affair. 6 L.A.S. and documents addressed to Dr. Maurice de Fleury. [Maurice de Fleury (1860-1931), a physician, was also a man of letters and publicist, notably under the Balzacian pseudonym Horace Bianchon]. Maurice BARRÈS, L.A.S., [January 21, 1907] (2p. in-8, envelope). "No, the sentence about Zola is not a grudge. Before the affair, I didn't like him, and for the literary reasons I still do, and during the affair I always affirmed in the midst of (misinformed) enthusiasts his virtues and professional honor. But I abhor his brutal and crude chatter"... Georges PICQUART. 3 autograph visiting cards, 2 envelopes, one of which Maurice de Fleury has noted "de la prison de la Santé" (postmark June 1899). Thanks for the books Maurice de Fleury sent him. Fernand LABORI. L.A.S., Samois September 9, 1897 (5p. in-8), about the Revue du Palais, and articles he requested from Fleury. Georges DUMAS (1866-1946, psychologist). Carte de visite a.s.: "Si tu vois Zola demande lui de ma part ce qu'il pense aujourd'hui de l'École Normale et s'il encore écrirait son chapitre de Paris? I hope he'd say more good things about it. I'm afraid he'll be condemned, but his trial will not have been in vain. We cannot doubt today that D. [Dreyfus] was irregularly condemned, we can doubt that he is guilty and it is in short in him that we owe this result"... A blank carte de visite from Madame Émile Zola is enclosed.
