Autograph letter dated and signed, addressed to Judith Gautier, 21 lines in black ink on a double sheet, paying homage to her for her election to the Académie Goncourt; Judith Gautier being thus the first woman writer to join the prestigious Goncourt jury in 1910. Léon Dierx considers this to be nothing but just and lucid recognition of his friend's literary talents: "En choisissant Judith Gautier, le si naturellement digne et admirable écrivain, elle sest grandement honorée et je vous prie de lui transmettre les chaleureuses félicitations de l'un de vos plus vieux amis et admirateurs." (In choosing Judith Gautier, that so naturally worthy and admirable writer, she has greatly honored herself and I ask you to convey to her the warm congratulations of one of your oldest friends and admirers.)
