Description
BAUDELAIRE Charles (1821-1867). Initialled autograph letter, incomplete from the beginning, addressed to [his publisher Auguste Poulet-Malassis]. S.l.n.d. [June 1860?]. 3 pp. in-12. Erasures, additions and corrections. Small paper losses at the central fold. "I have received from you : 19 common copies 2 on wire 2 on China paper 1 that I took from Pincebourde -24 And the pox? I alone had an advert placed in nearly [200 strikethrough] 300 newspapers. Did they all get through? I don't know. I know they left the Ministry. I cannot say. M. de Lescure says he is amazed by the book. I think d'Aurevilly is happy, but he wrote so much rubbish about Pommier and Aubryet [words crossed out] that he was laughed at, and he no longer dares to speak of the young school. The term is not mine. After the 20th, I'll either be very sad or very happy. I feel that this year I'm going all the way. All yours. C.B. We shall therefore soon agree on all our affairs. [he orders:] T. a page. The Poe affair will be done, with great luxury, but how tenacious Michel's claws are! The Wagner is increasing so much that I shall be obliged to detach it from the volume of Contemporaries. Charles Baudelaire, Correspondance générale, 1860-1861, 554.
