ALS in French, one page both sides, 5.25 x 8.25, September 27, 1849. Handwritten letter referring to her novel "La Mare au Diable" and work in the theater, in part (translated): "I worked a lot on La Mare au Diable...I thank you for your kindness as director of the Theatre Francais, but I am not a theater writer and I only did theater by accident and kindness. I do not know at all whether I will do it again. I do not know whether my friend Bocage sent you my good seat for you to see my small play, which has been well received. According to what I am told, it was very well played. I had put your name on the list that I sent Bocage, but, due to a misunderstanding, the play was played eight days sooner than I thought, and my list reached him one or two hours before the performance. I had also included in that list several of the Theatre Francais artists with whom I have had honorable relationships...I hereby acknowledge receipt of the 200 francs for La Mare au Diable." In fine condition.
