VIGNY ALFRED DE : (1797-1863) Count of Vigny. French Poet, Writer and Translator of Shakespeare. A fine A.L.S., `Alfred de Vigny´, one page, 8vo, n.p., Monday evening, 4th may 1840, in French. De Vigny tries to help a person and states `J´ai déjà fait aujourd´hui, monsieur, des démarches qui j´espère ne seront pas inutiles à notre bon et intéressant malade. Nous en parlerons s´il vous plait, mercredi, vers midi, si vous voulez bien venir´ (`I have already taken steps today, sir, which I hope will not be useless to our good and interesting patient. We will talk about it please, Wednesday, around noon, if you want to come´) Vigny further explains how busy he will be the day after and states `…je n´aurais pas le temps de vous tout dire sur les moyens que nous aurons de secourir le frère et la sœur qui méritaient un sort meilleur et qui me font bien de la peine´ (`I will not have time to tell you everything about the means we will have to help the brother and sister who deserved a better fate and who make me feel very sad…´) With blank integral leaf.
