DUMAS ALEXANDRE Pere: (1802-1870) - DUMAS ALEXANDRE Pere: (1802-1870) French Writer whose works include The Three Musketeers . A fine A.L.S., ` Al Dumas ´, a bold ink signature, two pages, 4.5 x 5, n.p., n.d., to Madame Porcher, in French. On his personal stationery, bearing a blind embossed seal with his laureated capital initials to the upper left corner of the letter. Dumas tries to have his works performed and referring to his correspondent´s husband, states in part ` Porcher devrait bien profiter de ses relations amicales avec Cormon pour faire représenter quelques pieces de mon repertoire…´ (Translation: “ Porcher should take advantage of his friendly relations with Cormon to have some works of my repertoire performed…”) Further Dumas, as usual, tries to negotiate with his works and rights, stating ` Dites au fondé de pouvoir que s´il veut transiger sur notre procès, je lui donnerai 600 fr. et à la vente nous partagerons les droits par moitié, sinon je m´opposerai à ce que la pièce soit jouée et il perdra tout…´ (Translation: “ Tell the representative with proxy that if he wants to reach a deal on our lawsuit, I will give him 600 francs, and upon sale we will share the rights, half each, otherwise I will oppose the play being performed and he will lose everything …”) Further Dumas, who is evidently out of town, asks for news listing a number of names. A boldly and cleanly written letter . With two very small areas of paper loss to the left edge, not affecting the text or signature, otherwise 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.
