Gérard de NERVAL – Signed autograph letter

Autograph letter signed to the publisher Hippolyte Souverain. [Paris, June-July 1850]; 1 page in-8°
Letter about the new edition of Scenes of Oriental Life first published in 1848 by the publisher Sartorius. The two volumes will be taken over later by the publisher Souverain in 1850. This year
marks the completion of his travelogues with the publication, the following year, of Voyage en Orient.
Nerval begins by complaining about the delay in the publication of the "Confidences de Nicolas" in the Revue des Deux (published in serial during the summer of 1850, they will be taken up in volume
in Les Illuminés in 1852): "L'on m'a set back another 15 days because of news from Mérimée. If you had to deal with the sum I would ask Buloz who owes me a lot since I have 50 pages of printed matter
and forty more done and I owe him only 260 f. If you can wait I would like it better so as not to bother him but in case it is further delayed I promise to give them the 15 without fail. Moreover,
Sartorius arrives in four or five days at what he writes. I'll try to come and see you tomorrow (…) I put a good ad in the magazine now I have more time I'll take care of it. I will have an article
in the Century. »
