Autograph letter signed "Gérard" addressed to Georges Guénot-Lecointe: "Mon Cher Monsieur, Je ne pourrai vous aller voir demain. Je crois que mon affaire se termine au Ministère. A après demain donc." ["My Dear Sir, I will not be able to come see you tomorrow. I believe my business is concluding at the Ministry. Until the day after tomorrow then."] Fold marks inherent to postal use. Trace of wax seal and manuscript address on fourth page. This letter has been transcribed in the correspondence published in the Pléiade (volume 1, p. 917). The "business" referred to here concerns financial aid of 300 francs that had been granted to Nerval two months earlier by the Minister of Public Instruction Abel Villemin. Georges Guénot-Lecointe was a critic for La Sylphide, a review to which Gérard de Nerval also contributed.
