Lettre autographe à un membre du groupe littéraire d'Alphonse Daudet, sans doute Émile Zola

Letter written in ink on Vergé paper, without date or address.
An old handwriting indicates the letter was addressed to Zola, information that can not be verified.

Daudet relates the impression that the publisher Georges Charpentier left him during a dinner. The importance of the friendly group formed by the writers of the time is here particularly pregnant: " I want to write him a word to propose to come with us five ". Presumably written after the death of Jules Goncourt, probably in the 1880s, as suggested by the use of the only surname Goncourt, the letter evokes a cold between Goncourt and Charpentier: " Goncourt may not be delighted; but he is too well brought up to let him see .
