ALS in French, signed “Gve. Flaubert,” one page, 5.5 x 8.5, annotated October 23, 1866 at the head. Handwritten letter by Flaubert to his "dear and venerable friend," Jean Clogenson, a friend of Flaubert’s best friend, poet Louis Bouilhet, author of the drama 'La Conjuration d’Amboise,' which is mentioned in this letter. In full (translated): "The first representation of ‘la Conjuration d’Amboise’ is, today, announced on the public posters to be given next Saturday, 27th, but Bouilhet has written to me last Sunday that it would probably be postponed until Monday 29th. It is impossible for me to tell you now anything more definite. However, I can send you a note from Paris by the telegraph. You will then be informed." He adds a brief handwritten postscript: "Thank you for the poetic memory." The recipient has clipped and affixed the original address panel (also penned in Flaubert's hand) to the second integral sheet. In fine condition.
