Emile Zola. P.A.S. (twice) and L.A.S., Paris et Médan 1890-1891, to Edgar Degas; 1 page in-8 with tax stamp, and 1 page in-8.
Unknown documents on the relations of Zola and Degas.

[Zola signed a second time on the tax stamp; on the back, stamp of the Bibliothèque Charpentier, G. Charpentier & E.]. Fasquelle publishers. ]

I no longer recognize myself at all in the complications of this adventure, and I will simply put everything in the hands of my businessman "...
