Autograph letter signed, addressed to a lady. In response to a request for tickets for a performance of one of his plays. “I have just come back from the Gymnase, where I found nothing for a date earlier than the one you were given yourself. Once the play has been performed, and with a box office run like the one currently underway, the author falls back into the common category.
I regret, Madame, that I am unable to do the small service you were kind enough to ask of me.” LETTERS AND AUTOGRAPH MANUSCRIPTS; DUMAS fils (Alexandre).
