MASSON, Frédéric. Letter written from the author to the Marquis de Ségur. Clos des Fées, Asnières-sur-Oise, July 28... A folded sheet, written in violet ink on fine azure-colored paper with a letterhead. Note: A letter that is at once personal and contains reflections on the Academy and their mutual acquaintances. It also raises questions regarding the possible terms for publishing the memoirs or “papers” of Mr. de Malaret’s brother, or for a book on his political role prior to 1870. Paul de Malaret d’Ayguesvives (1820–1886) was a career French diplomat who served as France’s minister plenipotentiary to Italy in Turin, then in Florence, during the Second Empire. Pierre de Ségur (1853–1916) was a historian, biographer, and man of letters, the grandson of the famous Countess de Ségur, who, like Masson, became a member of the Académie Française.
