MAURRAS, Charles (1868–1952). Autograph letter signed “Charles Maurras,” Paris, November 1 [1891], to a “dear colleague” [Philippe GILLE?]; 2 pages, in-8. Description: Upon his return from Provence, Maurras found a note of thanks for the lines he had devoted to the Literary Battle; “and in this morning’s *Le Figaro*, your elegant *Messagères* gave me great pleasure.” He asks, “Do you not intend to write a major critical article on *Thaïs*, the novel by Anatole France?”, as Maurras himself wishes to publish a few anecdotes and ideas inspired by this work; “but I would not wish to venture into this territory without your full approval and, above all, without your endorsement”… He praises “the illuminating and benevolent qualities of your criticism”…
