BAUDELAIRE, Charles (1821–1867). Autograph letter signed “Ch. Baudelaire,” January 29, 1854, to the actor Hippolyte TISSERANT; 1 page, in-12 format, with address. Regarding a theatrical project. Note: “So, my dear friend, hand this precious object in question over to the messenger (if it were gold, it would have the great advantage that, being wrapped in paper and placed in an envelope, I would not have to endure the humiliation of thinking that the messenger knows what he is carrying). – And rest assured that in a few days, when you bring this back to me, you will find me very busy with the play. I am happy to repeat that you have done me a great service; but I am in dire need of encouragement—and perhaps even flattery—for this is such a new undertaking for me that I am always inclined to believe I will produce a work that cannot be performed”... Correspondence (Pléiade), vol. I, p. 262.
