Description

Honoré de Balzac, Autograph letter signed. October 29, 1831, 1p in-8, autograph address. To Urbain Canel (1789-1867): "Illustre éditeur des contes bruns, soyez à 11h 1/2, demain chez Rabou ou sinon vous serez maudit. And my gloves? Mille choses aimables à la miss. T to vs. Balzac". Urbain Canel, Balzac's partner in 1825 in the Molière and La Fontaine ventures, was publisher and friend to Lamartine, Hugo, Latouche, Balzac, Nodier, Chasles, Musset and others.
