Jeanne SAMARY (1857-1890). 5 L.A.S.; 7pages in-8, one with her engraved cipher. [1883?], to Philoclès Regnier, recommending her "little brother" who is taking the declamation exam... - October 30, 1883, to Édouard Thierry, thanking him for the charming article he wrote about her. - 2 charming letters to her friend Paul Chéramy, including one about a dinner with her husband Paul Lagarde, Vitu, Pailleron, Lavoix and Toche, "all people of spirit"... - To Henri Maubant, about a meeting of the Sociétaires committee for increases; she asks Maubant to support her "to be put at 10000 francs", while Blanche Barretta is at 10500: "we entered the same year. We've both just been renewed for ten years. I play two jobs, the soubrettes, without sharing, and the ingénues, like Le Monde or L'Étincelle, and I think it's fair, given that it's really hard to get a full place at the Comédie Française, since even when you've had a great success during the year, you can only be increased by a twelfth, to get that twelfth, when you're only 9,000 francs like me"...
