SAND George (Aurore Dupin, baronne Dudevant, dite) [Paris, 1804 - Nohant, 1876], romancière française
Autograph letter, signed "G. Sand", addressed to Eugene Pelletan. Nohant, 9 October 1841]; 4 page in-4°, with address and postmarks. Beautiful letter on Chopin's installation in Paris at George Sand's home in one of the two pavilions on the rue Pigalle: "My dear Pelican, I am sending my servants Moreau and his wife, who have their furniture and belongings at home, to a small room at the end of your corridor. They can't take anything away that isn't theirs. So, please let them make their move, and even stay there for a few days if it is necessary for them to settle elsewhere. Provided, however, that this does not continue indefinitely, that they do not bring strangers into the house and that all the keys remain in your hands. They are quiet and tidy people that I don't keep, for reasons of economy, but I think you won't mind. Now, I have come to ask you to receive the furniture from Mr Chopin, which will be sent to me by Mr Fontana, and to have it deposited in the rooms on the first floor of the pavilion that you occupy. We'll see when we get there and get them in order. You know that Chopin rents me this pavilion. I shall therefore be obliged to arrange for your room to be made available by Maurice, to whom Chopin cedes this corner [...], since the other pavilion is too small to accommodate me, my two children and my servants. Without this new arrangement, I would have asked you, in case you found yourself in my home, to stay there, as it was a saving for you and no inconvenience for me. But as things are otherwise getting better, I warn you to be careful that if your new business doesn't call you away, you should try not to stray too far from us. I don't think I'll be in Paris before the end of the month, so you can take your time, and besides, you'll still be here when we arrive, which would be even better. Maurice will leave for Guillery at his father's, and won't be back in Paris until after we've finished. So if you're not forced to leave Pigale St
