SCHOELCHER Victor [Paris, 1804 - Houilles, 1893], homme politique français, auteur du décret d'abolition de l'esclavage
Set of two signed autograph letters addressed to Eugène Pelletan. - London], September 3, 1874; on 2 1/2 pages in-16. He received E. Pelletan's book, "September 4 before the inquiry": "Thank you very much for sending me your book. I read it greedily and charmingly. I drank milk as I read your revenge lines.... You should do an article for the Republican Education Society on morality, or rather on the immorality and demoralization of the Empire. This 15 cent. publication goes mostly to the countryside. With your talent as a writer, your honesty would give this subject a profound significance" . - [London], Friday night; on 2 pages 1/2 in-16. "I'm sorry, really sorry, I would certainly have brought forward my return, but by some extreme fate I've been stuck by a lumbago that's been causing me quite a bit of pain for the last two days. ...] What a fate, I who have never been in such pain! I would have been so happy to be with you that day! ...] In truth I must complain, it is not only a pleasure but an honour that I lose. My regret is very keen, but I will be with you in spirit and with all my heart."
