Descripción

This item is from the autograph album of the author George Meredith's daughter Marie Eveleen (Mariette; 1871-1933), wife of Henry Parkman Sturgis (1847-1929), American-born banker and Liberal politician. It does not however appear to be addressed to Meredith, but rather to the author William Sharp ( Fiona Macleod ). See the several references to Bourget in the first volume of W. F. Halloran s edition of Sharp s letters. 1p, 16mo. Laid down on part of gilt-edged leaf from Mrs Sturgis s album. In good condition, folded once for postage. Nine neatly-written lines, with Bourget s distinctive signature. Begins: Mille remerciements, cher poète, pour le morceau du Time, et l excellente traduction que vous avez faite du Soir d été. His beaux vers have made Bourget love his own. He concludes with new year greetings: Puis que c est l habitude Française, je profite de ce premier janvier pour vous souhaiter ainsi qu a Mrs Sharp, une heureuse année - et me dire une fois de plus votre ami bien devoué / Paul Bourget / 13 Janv. 86 .
