Camille FLAMMARION (1842-1925) astronomer. L.A.S., Cherbourg July 31, 1918, to a lady; 2pages in-8 on the letterhead of the Société astronomique de France. On astronomy and spiritualism. He has "published nothing since Rêves étoilés, Uranie, Stella, L'Inconnu, les Forces naturelles inconnues, Mémoires d'un Astronome, works in which I have dealt with these questions that fascinate you. The German war brought the world of civilization to a standstill [...] For four years, everything has been turned upside down". He continues to publish the monthly bulletin of the Société Astronomique de France, and hopes next winter to go to Nice and make its acquaintance. "To return to your favorite subject, manifestations of the dead are rare, extremely rare. However, they do exist, and for quite a number of years now, I've been gathering and comparing authentic testimonies. This is the continuation of L'Inconnu and the investigation I inaugurated there twenty years ago"... Enclosed is an issue of the bulletin L'Astronomie (March 1, 1912); and a L.A.S. from Gabrielle Camille Flammarion, his second wife, June 10, 1928, on the back of a photo showing her reading an article with her husband (with the handwritten caption "Collaboration!"), to the editor of L'Éclaireur thanking him for an article.
