ALS in French, signed “Victor,” one page, 4 x 6.75, no date. In full (translated): “You have charmed me sir, with a simple and frightening story, dreamt as Schiller could have dreamt it, told as Goethe told stories. I have taken the journal Feuilleton de la Presse to my country house to read it again under the shadows of the trees and the flowers. I thank you for having inserted my name in these beautiful pages. Please receive sir, my most cordial sympathy.” In very good condition, with paper loss to lower left (affecting his entire last name and a couple words) and repaired ink erosion to various words throughout. An important and beautiful letter referencing two of the most influential German writers of all time—Schiller the dreamer and Goethe the story-teller. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
