Eugène SUE Signed Autograph Letter His Chronic Melancholy and His Theater

  

The Autographes des Siècles bookstore has been specialized for many years in the sale of autograph letters and manuscripts. Autograph letter signed to Auguste Pittaud de Forges. My melancholy is still the same, except that before it came in fits, and now it is intimately linked to every moment of my life. A beautiful letter from Sue to his friend recounting the progress of his theatrical creations.

"Our letters have crossed, and as is often the case, one always waits for the other to respond, and it often takes quite a long time, so I will begin. And what earns you this quick response is 1° that I see you are reasonable in blaming fate rather than me for not seeing me in Lyon 2° for making me hope that I will give my name to your child; indeed, this has touched me a lot, it is one more bond, and there cannot be too many between us. As for your doubt about my civil rights, learn, and I had forgotten this one, that it is yet another of the thousand reasons that keep me here; yes, my disqualification is being lifted. And when you receive this letter, it may be over.

Thus, it is well and duly agreed that you can count on me, my dear friend. It is up to you since I am only forced to be pleasant by proxy. I still have not seen the Saucisson.

That is to say, if I have seen it but not tasted it; besides, I leave it sleeping at Arago's. Meanwhile, the Gorgeon du Réveillon.

Where it must feature with honor, on a chair in your place where it will represent you with a napkin around its neck and a paper hat on its head. Said the very nice word of the Cocu-Leuven. Regarding duels, your cousin de la Fare. Did not kill but wounded a Montmorency because it seems he was accused of having given the ch..... Isse to his wife, who was his cousin.

It is not very clear, but you, who are in the know, will understand; you must know if there was any selfishness in the complaint of the cousin of the ch.. The follicular killed by Mira. And worked at a pink journal called the Trilby. This merry imp had claimed that Mira was a fool and an insolent; that is half true, but if we killed everyone... A duel much more ridiculous is that of... He called him an imbecile, Riga. Responded with a word that ended with a great blow from a cane on the head; they clashed, Livry. Decided in the name of God that it could not end like that; our friend very much wanted to Leuvéniser, but no way Pimono? Showed defenses that could make one tremble; they went to the field with swords, pistols, espingoles, canes with rifles, who knows, and then they ended up embracing and plucking ducks.

I've told you roughly the reason for Arago's trip. As for him, he told me he found you there cheerful, big, fat, tall, and as happy as possible, this with variations and gestures, but that is the essence. He is an enemy with whom one must live while waiting for you to help me chase him away; I resign myself, hurry up, good brother, to come and give me a hand. Is still working on L'Idiot.

But he is very slow and is redoing the entire plan; I am waiting for him to get started on it. As I wrote to you, he has not had the slightest wind of the Seal. Every day to get it back and give it to Dartois. Impossible - always the index in foil and the... Scoundrel of a strange body, if this is the administration!

[sic] always separated from the Vaudeville, as dictator at least, he still maintains an interest in it. Remembers you fondly; he just brought me a copy of his Christine and included a remarkable preface; you will read that there and see if his Christine deserved the heap of filth under which it has been buried.

There is a free apartment in my house; he would almost be tempted to take it. Ah, when you are ready to return, will you look for something in my neighborhood?

I look forward to that day with great pleasure, but I fear that once here, you will leave me to go collaborate with the third and the fourth instead of just the two of us, working almost always together, we would do wonders, but then you would despise me. We have a play like received at the Gymnase for Gontier.

2 acts, S[ain]t Hilaire. Has read the plan to Poirson.

Who approved it and urged us to get started quickly; I have written an entire second act of which we were not dissatisfied. I will do your errand with Livry. What happiness that your motherly love is like this! I am all cheerful and happy about it. Many regards to your wife, goodbye, good brother.

I hug you, many regards to my godson if he stirs; to you in court. The judicial council of Eugène Sue, appointed on February 17, 1825, will not be lifted until February 25, 1830. Project for a play that does not seem to have come to fruition. This concerns the son of the famous comic actor Jean-Joseph Mira. He was part of, along with his father, the administration committee of the Variétés theater.

If we are to believe Alexandre Dumas, he was a childhood friend of Eugène Sue. (Montreuil-Belley [Maine-et-Loire], June 23, 1807 - November 30, 1829).

Arrived in Paris in 1828, Dovalle. While preparing to publish his first collection of poems, had just made his debut as a journalist in the satirical press, collaborating notably with the Figaro and the Trilby. Having seen an insult directed at him in a few lines of theatrical criticism, he called Dovalle. To the field and unfortunately had the misfortune of killing him.
