Billet autographe signé de Gérard de Nerval adressé à Georges Bell

Autograph letter signed by Gérard de Nerval addressed to his friend Georges Bell, four lines written in pencil and signed with his first name "Gérard". Stamp mark on verso.
Two small pin holes not touching the text, two transverse fold marks inherent to the folding of the letter.
This short note was written during the writer's penultimate stay at Doctor Blanche's in 1853.
This letter has been transcribed in volume 3 of Nerval's Complete Works in the Pléiade edition.
Gérard de Nerval met Joachim Hounau, known by his pen name Georges Bell, at Joseph Méry's home in Marseille in 1843, upon his return from his journey to the Orient.
Bell was a very close friend of Gérard de Nerval who, on his deathbed, would call him to his bedside.
Gérard de Nerval's autographs are very rare.
