Louise COLET (1810-1876). L.A.S., Sunday evening [1868, to publisher Édouard Dentu]; 2 1/2 pages in-8. She has passed through the Dentu bookshop "under the weight of a great sorrow", one of her daughter's children being at death's door. "Let's finish Les Derniers Abbés as quickly as possible! I have a second proof to review, and you know how long that takes. [...] Between now and the end of the month, Le Siècle, L'Opinion and Le Figaro will publish several articles by me. So it's a very good time to have my book published", and M. Alloury has promised him "an important review in the Débats. [...] But for God's sake, let this volume appear at last! It's the journée d'une femme du grand monde, which l'Opinion will publish in a few days' time.
