Jules RENARD (1864-1910)
L.A.S., Paris, December 8, 1908, to Marcel Ballot; 2 pages in-8. Response to the praise of the FIGARO columnist (soap opera of December 7, 1908). "I am happy with your "Literary Life". My dedication was not a flattery, and although I have already had marks of your sympathy, or because of them, I did not expect your article, (that I hoped) without any nervousness. It is impossible to understand Ragotte better, and, isn't it possible for me to believe that you love her"... He accepts his criticism of the end[with regard to the Natural Stories], and yet "remains incorrigible. I would, for example, like to find a respectful natural history on Mad's exquisite silhouette. Marcel Ballot on the edge of a theatre box. There is a formula to look for".... An L.A.S. of his wife "Marinette" is attached to Mrs. Alfred Natanson, Chaumot by Corbigny May 21[1904], with a.s. post-script from Jules Renard to Natanson: "Thank you, Prince. But why are you so kind to me, and so emm... for you? I know, too, that we are very happy with you at L'Humanité"...
