Gsand nohant, 28 May 76. This moving letter is one of the latest in George Sand.

After the three letters written on May 28 (one to Mademoiselle marguerite thuillier, the other to her doctor henri favre and finally this one), and a note on the agenda on May 29, she will take the pen one last time on the 30 to write to her nephew oscar cazamajou corr. Death on 8 June 1876 of an intestinal occlusion, George Sand was already in pain on 28 May, as his letter to Dr.Henri Favre shows: I wonder where I am going and whether one of these mornings should not be expected to leave.

I'd rather know right now than have the surprise. His condition will deteriorate on May 30 before symptoms worsen significantly on June 3.

On June 7, in full agony, she whispers to her solange daughter, who gives her care, and to her daughter-in-law lina calamatta: "Good-bye, good-bye, I'm going to die." She died on 8 June at 10:00 in the morning in her 72nd year. He was married to the actress Réjane and was close to the literary and musical circles by attending inter alia alphonse daudet, emile zola, léon hennique, george sand, gabriel fauré etc. This letter, unpublished to the correspondence edited by Lubin, will appear in the next volume of the new letters found.
