Laurent TAILHADE (1854-1919). 3 L.A.S. "Laurent", Toulouse 1868 and Paris 1902, to his parents; 6 pages in-8 and in-4, one envelope. Collège Sainte-Marie (Toulouse), April 23, 1868, he complains to his mother about his difficulties in adapting to college life, but he makes efforts; "as far as my supervisors are concerned, they are severe but they are good to me and as I am not well accustomed, they have warned me without punishing me"... - He assures his father that his grades for homework and conduct will go up... Prison of La Santé, March 9, 1902 (he is serving a one-year sentence for his article in Le Libertaire against Czar Nicholas II), he writes to his mother that he hopes for a pardon and the end of his troubles. His wife struggles and has to visit Mme Waldeck-Rousseau. He has to undergo a dental operation and thinks to escape the prosthesis: "Without that, furnished with a glass eye, I would miss only a wooden leg and a rubber arm to dismantle me like a game of patience". He complains about having been swindled of 250 F by Audiffret for a work done in common. He continued to write and publish: "My civic speeches are published by Stock", with an appendix "my article in the Libertaire, the report of the hearings, the depositions of Boisjoslin, Anatole France, Zola [...] The volume is "adorned" with a portrait by Vallotton which leaves nothing to be desired in terms of ugliness. One will find me there more one-eyed, more bloated, and more reclining than in nature" ...... He works with Alfred Naquet on the translation of an American work "touching the oscillation of the world's wealth from the West to the East" which will be published by Fasquelle...
