George SAND (1804-1876). L.A.S. "George," [early March 1848], to his friend Charles Duvernet; 2pages in-12, addressed. "My friend, on the very evening of the day we last saw each other, I went to the Ministry. I saw the lists, all the commissions without exception were given. I nonetheless gave a note for you, because no doubt several commissioners will be dismissed when we see them at work, and I pointed you out as a man of good will, capable, reliable, etc. I was thanked for the information. She thanks her friend for "paternally looking after my Augustine [Brault, Sand's great-cousin, who considered her her adopted daughter] and I recommend her to you as the apple of your wife's eye"...

SAND George (Aurore Dupin, baronne Dudevant, dite) [Paris, 1804 - Nohant, 1876], French novelist. Autograph letter signed, addressed. Nohant, January 15, 1866 with wax seal. "Monsieur Calamatta asks me on your behalf for letters for my friends in journalism, I have very few. [...] I regret that you are not happy with the article I wrote so quickly, and leaving aside all occupation, on the virgin in the chair. Mr Calamatta almost reproached me for the opinion you expressed to him and told me that you hesitated to publish it, because I allowed myself a slight criticism of Raphaël. That's being too demanding, and if it weren't for a very dear and ill-informed friend, I'd take the article back and not bother again."
