Charming letter to Maurice Sand, accepting an invitation to a puppet play: "Je serai tout à fait heureux d’aller vous serrer la main et vous applaudir Mercredi soir. Et je verrai vos marionnettes avec un plaisir infini. Présentez, je vous prie, mes compliments respectueux à madame Sand [...]".
Maurice Sand was a talented puppeteer and puppet maker who was often assisted by his famous mother in the creation of new puppets and scenarios for his plays. One of George Sand's final publications was a long article on puppet theater in Le Temps that was inspired by the work of her beloved son. Guy de Maupassant was a friend of the family and admirer of George Sand.
On stationery with embossed monogram and lithogr. address "83, Rue Dulong".
