Notorious French novelist and playwright (1740–1814) whose violent sexual escapades and depravity-infused works gave rise to the word ‘sadism.’ ALS in French, signed “Sade,” one page both sides, 6 x 7.25, August 16, 1811. Letter to Armand-Marie Corbin. In part (translated): “My son promised to pay Mrs. Quesnet six Louis that have been owed her for a long time, and he indicated that such payment would be made at this time, in case Mr. Aubert in Arles transferred some money to you. If this is the case, please remit the money to the lady…There is another small matter that my son attends to every third month: fifteen francs for my newspaper subscription which will expire on the 20th of this month. You would oblige me, sir, by adding this small amount to the 50 ecus of my monthly allowance.” Matted and framed with a translation and a window in the back for viewing of the reverse to an overall size of 12 x 18.5. In fine condition, with intersecting folds, one horizontal fold passing though the top of the signature, light scattered toning, and a tack hole to the lower left.
