French dramatist and novelist (1798–1865) behind the classic Picciola, a tale of a prisoner finding salvation through his love for a tiny flower emerging from the cracks of the prison yard. He was also the co-author of the story which would inspire Bellini’s opera, I puritani. ALS in French, signed, “Saintine,” one page, 5 x 8, September 19, 1825. In a letter to his friend, Monsieur Ch. Bizet, Saintine writes, translated in full: “Does it matter to you that the payment for our magnificent carbonization business may extend through next month? I am consenting to wait patiently for certain ones and to keep working on those in arrears because I am in the midst of moving, etc., etc. But if the arrangement does not seem agreeable to you, leave a note with my door keeper and I will be faithful to my duty. Also I will see you next Wednesday. I will put on my necktie and agree with you on a day for that country party so often planned, so often put off.” In very good condition, with scattered light soiling, a paper clip impression at the top, and multiple arithmetic equations on the adjoining address panel.
