"Envoyez vite à Théo ce qui est imprimé de la pièce. Il fera de grandes citations surtout le Serpent." The "pièce" in question is Gusman le Brave, first performed at the Odéon on 23 September 1853. On 4 October, Théophile Gautier discussed the play in La Presse. "Le Serpent" refers to José’s tale in Act II, scene 1.
