NADAR: (1820-1910) His real name being Felix Tournachon. French Photographer, Caricaturist and Balloonist. A good A.L.S., Nadar, two pages, on two sheets, 8vo, n.p., November 1905, to an unidentified correspondent, in French. Nadar annotates to the heading before the date `(?...)´, meaning that he has no idea what day it is. Nadar states in part `D´autant mieux venu votre jeune ami (-d´abord parce qu´avec vous tres aimée Madame) que nous lui croyons avoir déniché des notes qui me paraissent devoir l´intéresser, car moi qui ne Chateaubrille point, j´y ai été mordu; c´est le journal, jour par jour, d´une petite amie, quoiqu´enfant intime de Chateaubriand..´, further saying and requesting a payment `Mais vendredi c´est bien long! Vous ne nous ferez pas une petite avance?..´ VG
