SAND, George (known as Aurore Dupin, Baroness Dudevant) [Paris, 1804 – Nohant, 1876], French novelist. An autograph letter signed by V. Duruy of the Ministry of Public Instruction and a reply from George Sand on one folio-sized page addressed to her niece, Mrs. Simonet, regarding her son Edme Simonet. Mr. Duruy writes: “I would very much like to accommodate you, but I am bound by an inflexible regulation that requires, for a promotion, that the candidate be on his high school’s honor roll. This rule is not like so many other formalities that I would be happy to do away with; it is a matter of principle, since it compels the child to earn, through his conduct, the recognition that has been granted for his father’s service. ” Georges Sand’s reply: “I’m sending you a disappointing reply. That little devil is making you pay for his little […]. I thought, however, that he had been on the honor roll this year. Apparently not. He has a lot to answer for. He needs to understand that. I send you my love with a smile, sorry for this refusal, but unable to overrule it, since the minister is responding in his own hand. Your Aunt.”
