Description

1 p. in ink, on recto of half lettersheet (126 x 183 mm). Oversize cloth folding case. The eminent chemist and microbiologist Louis Pasteur writes to an unidentified recipient, addressed simply as "Monsieur", requesting some changes in an unspecified manuscript (evidently of a partially biographical nature). "Monsieur, Je vous serais oblig d'accepter toutes ces corrections qui ne changent rien la force de vos arguments, mais qui en diminuent le ton un peu irrit . Surtout ne dites pas: 'puisque M. Pasteur n'a jamais voulu prendre un brevet'. C'est une erreur. J'en avais pris un et m me je m' tais occup de la btion [?] en vue d'y trouver un gagne-pain pour ma famille, apr s la guerre, pendant la commune, un moment o l'effondrement de notre ch re France paraissait irr m diable". - With a two word insertion, and several words at the conclusion inked through. - Very faint creasing at corners, tiny pinhole touching descender of one letter, otherwise very good.
