George SAND. L.A.S., Nohant June 25, 1853, to Victor de Persigny; 3 pages in-8, envelope marked "Personnelle" and signed. Intervention in favor of a political prisoner. [Ferdinand François (1806-1868) had taken over the direction of La Revue indépendante founded by G. Sand, Pierre Leroux and Louis Viardot. Persigny was then Minister of the Interior, and was also in charge of the Police]. "Do you remember that I exist? You have been good to my friends and to me, so I cannot forget you. You told me, I am not the master, I have stopped bothering you. [...] I come back and I hope. She begs him to "do justice to my friend Mr. Ferdinand François, who has just been arrested and taken to Mazas without any conceivable reason and as a result of a misunderstanding on the part of the police of Mr. de Maupas. Mr. François had gone through the December event without ever hiding, without inspiring any distrust. He was busy with his work and his family. Enemy of all political passion, he judged historical situations as a philosopher and never acted, and that by principle in any conspiracy, in violent struggles. How could he have been the object of a security measure? Let me believe that he owes you his freedom"... Correspondence, t. XI, n° 5947. Attached: - a copy by his grandmother, Mme Dupin de Francueil, of a letter from Jean-Jacques Rousseau, April 9, 1743; - a note from Alexandre Manceau for the servant Sylvain Brunet, for the purchase of a ream of paper.
