[George SAND]. Pierre LEROUX (1797-1871). 4 L.A.S., 1841, to George Sand; 5 1/2 pages in-4 and 4 pages in-8, addresses (some slight flaws).
Interesting correspondence with George Sand concerning the creation of La Revue indépendante.
[January 1841]. "Have you read the curious letters from S.M. Louis-Philippe in the National? What do you think of this Robert Macaire? Best regards to Chopin"... - La Châtre June 11, 1841. He has been to see Nohant and is due to leave when she arrives: "Ainsi veut le Destin, qui a réglé les rapports et conjonctions des astres errants dans le ciel et des âmes qui se cherchent sur la terre". He recounts his trip to the Midi with his brother Jules. Needing money, he asked Duteil: "I said you would pay my debt. [...] You are the only one I do not doubt"... He greets Chopin and Maurice... - September 8, 1841. He recommends Victor de Laprade, who is coming to see her. He sends her his new book, agreeing with Mme Marliani that "the salvation of the world can only be achieved by women"... - October 15, 1841. He has just finished reading Horace: "I am delighted, very delighted. [...] your title La Revue indépendante is admirable. [...] I knew you would be the godmother. Now we must win or die. He has had the first volume of Horace composed, and speaks of the correction of the proofs; he awaits Sand impatiently: "Come and cement, strengthen, perfect what Viardot and I have sketched out, La Revue indépendante"...
