Charles BAUDELAIRE

Lettre autographe datée et signée de Charles Baudelaire à Philoxène Boyer concernant l'intrigante Léontine B.

Paris 25 Juin 1854, 11,5x18,5cm, une page recto-verso.


Handwritten letter dated and signed by Charles Baudelaire to Philoxène Boyer concerning the intriguing Léontine B.
Paris 25 Juin 1854 | 11.5 x 18.5 cm | one page recto-verso
Handwritten two-page letter, dated 25 June 1854, and signed by Charles Baudelaire to Philoxène Boyer, whom he calls «my dear Lyrique,» in which he apologises for having missed a meeting with him, he confesses his impecuniosity to him and reports to him on the efforts made by Léontine B., an intriguing person who will end up compromising Philoxène Boyer because of his debts, to attend a party to which she is not invited and which holds a certain jealousy: «You surely assume my dear Lyrique, that yesterday something serious happened for me to have missed this meeting. Here is what I would have told you: 1 – my money has not come; but it will come. / 2 – Léontine is obstinate. I am convinced that I have fulfilled my confidence mission very well. I came back three times. When I finally could explain to her carefully that this party was for family, secret, that Boyer himself was supposed to ignore it, – she replied: Well it's no longer a secret since I know.»
Finally, while recognising Léontine as «a very original turn of mind» and although the attitude of this troublesome scheme: «causes you worry and I understand...,» Charles Baudelaire pleads for indulgence and leniency: «since she persists so proudly, I would urge you to let the event run. It is after all only the homage of a dizzy mind.»
