SAND, George (known as Aurore Dupin, Baroness Dudevant) [Paris, 1804 – Nohant, 1876], French novelist. Signed autograph letter. Undated; 4 pages, in-4° Georges Sand is concerned about her daughter’s disappearance with Mr. Dudevant. “Please be so kind as to write immediately to Nérac and let me know where my daughter is. While I was on my way to Paris [...], Mr. Dudevant went to Berry, where the child was staying with me and the governess, and he forcibly took her away. He took her to Guillery, which he now owns following the death of Mrs. Dudevant, his mother-in-law. I am going to go after my daughter and have her returned to me. [...] You told me that some people you know are concerned about me. Through them, you might be able to find out if my daughter is all right, if she is being mistreated, or if she is being hidden away. I hope not, but I am so troubled that I see everything in a negative light. ” Enclosed is a handwritten note signed “GS.” Thursday evening, 1 page, in-4° format, in blue ink. “Dear friend, I haven’t replied to you about the Sorbonne. You’ll have to remind me of the date, and we’ll go together.”
