DUMAS ALEXANDRE Pere: (1802-1870) French Writer whose works include The Three Musketeers. A.L.S., `A
DUMAS ALEXANDRE Pere: (1802-1870) French Writer whose works include The Three Musketeers. A.L.S., `Al. Dumas´, one page, 8vo, n.p., n.d., to Monsieur Porcher, in French. Dumas refers to theatre tickets and to money corresponding to each of them, stating `Mon cher Porcher, Le compte fait avec Brunswick. J´ai laissé a ces messieurs pour 25 francs de billets, a moi le reste. Voulez vous remettre a…les 200 francs restant´ (“My dear Porcher, the state of account has been made with Brunswick. I gave to these gentlemen tickets for 25 francs, the rest is mine. Do you want to give bac to… the remaining 200 francs”) With blank integral leaf. G to VG
Jean Baptiste Porcher (1792-1864) and his wife were French Theatrical Agents who used to purchase copyrights and ticket passes for their authors, later reselling them at the entrance doors of theatres. He very often advanced money to Dumas and other artists, sometimes keeping some manuscripts in pledge.
