LS in French, signed “A. Dumas,” one page both sides, 8 x 10.5, October 12, 1868. Letter to a newspaper editor. In part (translated): “Since you have been good enough to announce the concert which I am giving at the Havre for the benefit of Delacroix, may I request that you announce it is such a way as to be helpful to him. Delacroix is a former actor who, for forty years, has played leading roles in the provinces; he has literally become blind on stage. Today, without financial resources, he is appealing by my voice to all who hold a pen and to all who have a heart. I believe that you are unfortunately in error regarding the 250 francs sent by the Marchioness of Caux. The admiration which I have for Miss Patti, as an artist, would make me desire even more for her than my poor Delacroix—who nevertheless has great need of money—that the report (about the 250 francs) was true.” Central horizontal and vertical fold, a thin vertical pencil line to left side, mild toning, and a lightly trimmed left edge, otherwise fine condition.
