Autograph letter signed by George Sand addressed to Gustave Flaubert. Two pages written in black ink on a double sheet bearing, at the head of the first page, the sender's dry stamp.
This letter was published in the complete correspondence of George Sand established by Georges Lubin.
Fine letter written by George Sand a few months before her death and addressed to her lifelong friend, Gustave Flaubert.
The writer wishes to offer her friend a seat so he may attend the revival of her play Le Mariage de Victorine : "Je t'écris en courant ce matin parce que je viens de recevoir de Mr Perrin avis de la 1ère représentation de la reprise du Mariage de Victorine une pièce de moi au théâtre français. Je n'ai ni le temps d'y aller ni l'envie de partir comme cela au pied levé, mais j'aurais voulu y envoyer quelques amis et il ne m'offre pas une seule place. Je lui écris une lettre qu'il recevra demain et je le prie de t'envoyer au moins un orchestre." ["I'm writing to you hurriedly this morning because I've just received notice from Mr Perrin of the first performance of the revival of Le Mariage de Victorine, a play of mine at the Théâtre Français. I have neither the time to go nor the desire to leave like that at a moment's notice, but I would have liked to send some friends and he doesn't offer me a single seat. I'm writing him a letter which he will receive tomorrow and I ask him to send you at least an orchestra seat."]
