    Maupassant replied to his correspondent that he was trying to see: " Yes, certainly, madam, I was even going to go there, always about five o'clock, for Madame Pasca told me that you never came home sooner. Alix-Marie Pasquier, known as Madame Pasca, was a member of the Comedie Francaise, a very close friend of Maupassant and close to Flaubert, accustomed to the Countess Potocka's salon.
    Further on, he recalled his recurring boredom: " I warn you that the Reverend Father is not in vain of...

    20 lines autographs and signed by Maupassant in black ink on a letter-card with a letterhead "GM 10, rue de Montchanin" to the countess who beats cold.
    Maupassant appears in the grip of doubt as to the feelings of the Countess towards him: " Is it dangerous to go and see you? I confess that I am afraid. On my return from Antibes, you have felt a terrifying coldness towards me. "
    The Countess treated Maupassant in the same way as his other "Maccabees." A kind of courtyard of lovers, on which she had all power. Potocka held Maupassant in awe: " I have concluded that I should do well not to tire you. He grieves: " And then...

    Funny and moving letter both literary and amorous.
    Maupassant, at Antibes on the occasion of a marriage, addressed an astonishing letter to the Countess Potocka. She is at the same time her friend and a woman whom he courtiers by taste or worldliness. For her part, she quickly incorporated him into his group of "Maccabees," a circle of suitors over whom she reigned as an absolute mistress.
    He grew up with Potocka for his kindness...
