Eminent French author (1804–1876), born Amantine-Lucile-Aurore Dupin, better known by the masculine pen name she adopted early in her career. An early feminist, she also earned a footnote in musical history as the longtime romantic companion of pianist/composer Frédéric Chopin. ALS signed “G. Sand,” one page, 5 x 8.25, personal letterhead, September 9, 1869. Letter to a friend, possibly a theatre critic. In full (translated): “We play the comedy next Sunday the 12th and we count on your long-standing public acclaim to judge the progress of the theatre of Nohant.” A short psotscript under the signature reads, “The bus leaves the Hotel St. Germaine at 7:30—Answer by Sylvain.” In very good condition, with uniform toning from previous display, scattered light soiling, a few extra folds, and scattered creases.
