MASSON, Frédéric. Letter to Paul Rémusat. March 4, 1904. In-12, laid paper with watermark. 1 folio folded on paper with a mourning border. Note: Masson writes to his “Eminent Colleague” regarding Paul de Rémusat’s book about his grandmother, which he edited: *Mémoires de Madame de Rémusat* (1802–1808). Published in 1880 by Calmann-Levy, it is an account of the court of Napoleon I, the Consulate, and the First Empire, as the Countess de Rémusat (1780–1821) had served as a lady-in-waiting to Empress Joséphine. Paul de Rémusat is said to have given it to her, and Masson offers some critical reflections on women authors and their historical memoirs but mentions—accompanied by a pen-and-ink drawing of the tomb of Madame de Rémusat’s daughter, who died in 1815— a book on the tombs at Père Lachaise (whose full title he mentions), which is said to have influenced his opinion.
