DUMAS ALEXANDRE Fils: (1824-1895) French Author and Dramatist. A.L.S., `A. Dumas
DUMAS ALEXANDRE Fils: (1824-1895) French Author and Dramatist. A.L.S., `A. Dumas´, two pages, to a 4.5 x 3.5 grey oblong card, n.p., n.d., to an unidentified friend, in French. Dumas states in part `Mon cher ami, puisque vous me reprochez d´etre trop prodigue envers la poste quand je fais des envois d´argent a Paris, je donne un bon sur vous a mon carrossier, ça ne me coutera rien´ (“My dear friend, since you reproach me for being too prodigal towards the post office when I send money to Paris, I am giving a voucher on you to my coachman, it will cost me nothing”) Dumas further refers to his correspondent´s recent stay in his home, saying `Il a plu le jour de votre depart comme je l´avais prédit. Depuis lors le temps est admirable et votre chambre vous attend quand vous voudrez´ (“It rained the day you left as I predicted. Since then the weather has been wonderful and your room is waiting for you whenever you want”) VG
