Beschreibung

12mo, oblong 12mo, and visiting card format. Altogether 10 pp. Two of the letters, the lettercard, and the visiting card are addressed to a Madame Emond and her husband. The lettercard, accepting an invitation, is the earliest dated item in the collection (1 May 1897). In a letter to M. Emond, dated 21 July 1906, Baillet declines an invitation, as he is performing in Augier's "Les Effrontés". In an undated letter to Mme. Emond, Baillet similarly declines an inviation for the same reason, also commenting the health of M. Dubuisson: "Vous êtes mille fois aimable de vouloir bien songer à moi : hélas ! je joue Vendredi - je joue toujours en ce moment - et il ne m'est pas possible de profiter de votre charmante invitation. Les meilleures nouvelles de la santé de Monsieur Dubuisson me font grand plaisir et j'espère avec vous son promt [!] et complet rétablissement". The visiting card was written to thank M. Emond in an unspecified matter. - On 24 January 1899, Baillet writes a somewhat cryptic letter concerning a talisman, with a quotation from Hugo's Ruy Blas: "Voici le talisman ! Votre fidèle serviteur va s'écrier comme Ruy Blas: 'Donc, je marche vivant dans mon rêve étoile!' - Quand il vous plaira lui donner cette joie . n'hésitez pas". - Finally, on 26 November 1899, Bataille declines an invitation due to a soirée and sends greetings to a Mme. Weill. - Georges Baillet was named Sociétaire of the Comédie-Française in 1887. One of his favourite roles was that of César de Bazan in Ruy Blas. - Lettercard shows minor foxing. Letter dated 26 November 1899 somewhat stained. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 58377
