ALS in French, two pages on two adjoining sheets, 4 x 5.25, black-bordered stationery letterhead, April 10, 1881. Letter to a “dear friend.” In part (translated): “I have another service to ask of you: please insert the enclosed note in your ‘Echos.’ The book will appear on Monday and it would be a good idea for you to give the preface that day as you did for the preface of the first volume of ‘Naturalism in the Theater. The two are inter-connected.” Zola also adds a brief postscript, “Charpentier will send you the copy that I signed for you.” Uniform blocks of toning over both pages of text and signature, scattered creases, and mounting remnant affixed to reverse of second page, otherwise very good condition.
