Description

Collection of four autograph letters, in various formats, (about 1893), in French, to his daughter Juliette or his son-in-law Léon Bessand - including confidential matters, all written in dark ink, mostly with a horizontal letter fold, scattered mild signs of wear, and one with soiling - overall in fine condition. Accompanied by three autograph letters signed from his wife Ninon to Juliette, 5 envelopes and an unsigned photo.

In parts:
"[...] Je t`aime tant - tu es ma vie - et c`est bien vrai! - J`ai encore beaucoup à faire - mais je veux partir samedi matin - ce paris m`est odieux [...]" / "[...] je te priais de ne pas parler aux Heugel du travail de ton père, de l`achèvement de son oeuvre qu`il doit ignorer et je me suis haté avant de partir pour Maillane de t`en prévenir - cela m`amènerait de gros ennuis si des potins étaient faits à ce sujet [...]"

Translated:
"[...] I love you so much - you are my life - and it's so true! - I still have a lot to do - but I want to leave Saturday morning - this bet is odious to me [...]" / "[...] I begged you not to speak to the Heugels about your father's work, about the completion of his work which he must be unaware of, and I hastened to warn you before leaving for Maillane - it would cause me great trouble if gossip were spread about it [...]"
