ALS in French, signed “Pasteur,” one page, 4.5 x 7, stamp-dated June 11, 1884. Letter to veterinarian J. Bourrel, who worked with Pasteur on the study of rabies. In full (translated): “Can the dog still bite? Will send two dogs at 5 o’clock. In any case send the corpse.” Elaborately double-suede-matted and framed with a portrait and biographical plaque to an overall size of 23 x 20. In fine condition, with central vertical and horizontal folds. At this time, Pasteur had just started his studies on rabies and was gathering dogs as laboratory specimens. Just one year later, Pasteur successfully inoculated the first human against rabies.
