ROSTAND Edmond [Marseille, 1868 - Paris, 1918], French poet - Lot 70
ROSTAND Edmond [Marseille, 1868 - Paris, 1918], French poet and playwright. Autograph letter signed. 1 page in-4° on Hôtel Meurice letterhead. "From the very first articles you signed, I have been an admirer of yours, and I remember, long ago, asking mutual friends to tell you so. Will you excuse me today from your presence to plead Abel Hermant's cause? I'm sure that if, with your high authority, you pleaded on his behalf, he would succeed Catulle Mendès. If I'm right in believing that you think Hermant is an impeccable stylist, all the good that all men of letters think of him. If Richepin is not to replace your dear, great Mendès, who will be able to take his place with [...]? [...] Ah, I'm so far from Paris, and realize what the provinces are passionate about! L'Illustration's success dates back to the publication of its plays."
