Description from the seller
Maurice Barrès (1862-1923)
Set of two autograph letters signed.
Fine set of two signed autograph letters by Maurice Barrès, addressed to Thureau-Dangin and to his wife, testifying to his ties with the Académie française.
1. Signed autograph letter to Thureau-Dangin, perpetual secretary of the Académie française.
1 page in-8 on blue paper.
Barrès apologizes for his absence and announces that he will not be able to return to Paris before All Saints’ Day:
« Would you excuse me on Thursday. I will not return to Paris until after All Saints’ Day. I do not make a scruple with respect to the Academy, because everything is in order without surprise... »
2. Signed autograph letter to Madame Thureau-Dangin.
Printed header of the Chamber of Deputies, 3 pages in-8.
Barrès speaks with modesty about his duties as director:
« I have an extreme difficulty in accepting this honor of being director, and if our respected perpetual secretary were in good health, I would again ask him to excuse me. But if he truly finds it more convenient to dispose of me, I must obey his orders, and I do. I am very touched, madam, by what you have kindly said about my words on the churches... »
Interesting set illustrating Maurice Barrès’s relations with François-Thureau Dangin, perpetual secretary of the Académie française, and his wife. These two letters attest to the writer’s deference to the academic institution and to his sense of duty in performing the responsibilities entrusted to him.
