Suzanne BROHAN (1807-1887). 6 L.A.S., 1865-1881 and n.d.; 12 pages in-8, 2 envelopes.
She thanks her comrade for making himself available for the performance she is organizing. But she runs into problems because she is refused Rachel, or at least given her for much later...
3 letters are addressed to Mr. Guérard, director of the Collège Sainte-Barbe in Fontenay-aux-Roses (where she lives). The actress regrets having missed a ceremony at the Pantheon in Paris, where she was to have taken her grandson Pierre (son of Augustine Brohan). She has not yet paid him a condolence visit; very impressionable, she is not in control of her emotions.... November 25, 1881, witty letter thanking her for a beautiful brioche she shared with "a beautiful lady", and the next day with her daughter Madeleine.
June 19, 1884, to Pierre Gauthiez, thanking the young poet for his visit to Paris, on the 5th floor, with his daughter Madeleine; but she was asleep. He went to Fontenay, where he left his volume of verse and a letter. She thanks him for his autograph on the volume...
She thanks her daughter Madeleine Brohan for the book of poems she lent him. The author is Pierre Gauthiez: "Un poète nous est né"; she describes the talent of this young man, whom she knew as a child. She alludes to her other daughter, Augustine (Mme de Gheest), who can hardly see.
