Signed autograph letter from the writer Jean LORRAIN to Alfred HUMBLOT March 1902

  

Handwritten 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. May Ollendorff's will be done in Nice as well as in Paris, so be it. But please add to the hundred guards of the press service a hundred other guards for my personal service and my specific mailing list.

I cannot find the proofs of the Coins de Byzance. I will continue to search and if I do not find them, I will be forced to ask you to send them back to me, as I intend to publish the Coins de Byzance at the end of May. You will receive on Wednesday morning the short notice on the Princesses for which I will make three variations. Where do we stand with the Poussières de Paris and Mr. Please find here, my dear Humblot, the great friendship of yours.

And as for the cover of the Vice Errant, we should take care of it, maybe see Lévy-Dhurmer.
