Autographed letter signed by the writer Jean LORRAIN to Alfred HUMBLOT April 1902

  

Autographed letter signed by the writer Paul-Alexandre-Martin DUVAL, known as Jean LORRAIN (Fécamp, 1855 - Paris, 1906), addressed to the publisher Alfred HUMBLOT, director of the Ollendorff editions. I am still waiting for the cover design for The Errant Vice. It is not coming quickly, so please hurry them up; I want to be published by the end of May. I am also waiting for the proofs to give the go-ahead. Per Lamm wrote to me about The Turkish Lady.

He tells me he has written to Mendel, and he gives me permission to publish the said Lady with you in an edition at 3.50 on the condition of changing the title. What would you say to Five Days in Malta while keeping Mr. de Bougrelon as the main title?

By the way, has Borel written to Mr. Without a response from him, I just sent him a telegram.

You see that I am not wasting my time; let us not waste ours.
