Foreign Literature

Pardon my non-french! You are all forgiven, you strange strangers who delight us with your torrents of tongue, your lexicons of legend, your diamonds of idiom. Let us relish the ripeness of your rhetoric, the wild, unheard-of wonders you weave, told in the tongue of Shakespeare, Goethe, Li Po, Dante, Cervantes, Khayyam, Sappho - or in the translations of Gide, Nerval, Judith Gauthier, Rivarol, Oudin, Toussaint, or Renée Vivien!

Affectionate autograph letter signed, one and a half pages (32 lines) from Cham addressed to his friend Alexandre Dumas fils, thanking him fraternally for the fruitful administrative steps undertaken by the latter in favor of obtaining the ribbon of the Legion of Honor for his fellow caricaturist:
In this missive, filled with surprised modesty and discretion, Cham shows himself to be both proud and gently mocking of decorations. He never ceases to praise the affection and gratitude he feels for his friend.
"Ce 11 Fev. (1875),
Mon cher ami,
C'est atroce ! Me voilà décoré ! Jusqu'à la fin de mes jours ! et c'est de votre faute !
Par le plus grand des hasards j'ai appris que vous aviez écrit une lettre de quatre pages au ministre. Le tout me concernant et appelant sur moi le ruban ! Sans rien dire à personne ! et sans vous dénoncer une fois le coup terminé et réussi.
Que penser d'un pareil homme ? Où trouver assez de reconnaissance pour le remercier d'un pareil traits ? Je forme immédiatement une société au capital d'une reconnaissance énorme qui puisse acquitter ma dette envers vous. Ce n'est pas une croix qui honore un homme, ce sont des amis comme vous.
Vous devez comprendre ce que j'éprouve pour vous après un coup pareil.
Bien affectueusement et merci je ne vous dis que ça !
Cham.
Mes respectueux hommages à madame Dumas.
Je porte mon ruban en rosette, ça fait très bien." ["February 11 (1875), My dear friend, It's atrocious! Here I am decorated! Until the end of my days! and it's your fault! By the greatest chance I learned that you had written a four-page letter to the minister. All concerning me and calling for the ribbon upon me! Without saying anything to anyone! and without denouncing yourself once the deed was done and successful. What to think of such a man? Where to find enough gratitude to thank him for such a gesture? I immediately form a company with the capital of enormous gratitude that can settle my debt to you. It is not a cross that honors a man, it is friends like you. You must understand what I feel for you after such a deed. Most affectionately and thank you, that's all I say to you! Cham. My respectful regards to Madame Dumas. I wear my ribbon as a rosette, it looks very good."]
