BARAIL (François Charles de) 2 autograph letters signed to Le Figaro, 1891 and 1893
2 autograph letters signed by F. du Barail to Gaston Calmette, director of Le Figaro, from 1891 and 1893. He apologizes “for the delay in replying to you and for the imperfect way in which I am carrying out this task. I am having a gout attack in my elbow. However, I would very much like to ask you for a real favor from Le Figaro. My friend the Duke of Harcourt has just published, with Plon, a very interesting book on Egypt. Le Correspondant has published three very interesting excerpts from it. Would it be possible to have Le Figaro say a few words of introduction to the public..” 3 pages, in-12° (16.5 x 10.5). The other, Château de la Forêt, August 24, regrets being unable to obtain from Mac-Mahon the publication of all or part of his memoirs. “I believe that during his lifetime he will not allow the publication of any part of his Memoirs.” 4 pages, in-12° (16.5 x 10.5).
2 envelopes and a press clipping.
