José-Maria de HEREDIA. L.A.S., November 15, 1893, to a friend; 1 1/2 pages in-8 (center fold split). Application to the Academy. A cold prevented him from sending his book [Les Trophées], "not having been able to go and dedicate it at Lemerre's and not wanting to give it to you naked". As for his candidacy for the Académie française: "don't forget me with M. Challemel-Lacour and all those you may know, because Charmes is struggling terribly. [...] My letter of candidacy will be read next Thursday at the Académie".
