Description
Soulary, Joséphin – Signed autograph letter, dated 26 August 1883 in Lyon - A one-page autograph letter, signed and dated 26 August 1883 in Lyon, expressing regret at being unable to send verses for the magazine ‘Feu-Follet’ due to ill health: ‘Sir and dear colleague, You have caught me off guard, which I deeply regret, for there is no [...] cause, the good fight (as you so aptly put it), for which I feel more sympathy than for *Feu-Follet*. But since I delivered the material for the third volume of my works to my publisher, Alphonse Lemerre—which he has just put on sale—I have composed nothing further. My health is so poor and I am so beset by troubles of all kinds that any engagement with the muse has become a painful struggle for me... ’ Joseph Marie Soulary, known as Joséphin Soulary, 1815–1891, was a poet who belonged to the Lyon Félibres society, also known as the Lyon Pléiade.
