Autograph letter signed.

8vo. 1 page on bifolium. Includes an autograph letter signed by Proudhon's widow to Lachâtre (8vo. 2 pp.). To an unnamed addressee: after their discussion of the previous Monday, he sends the plan of the deed of the society, edited by his friends and himself, as a basis of a new publication of "La Voix du Peuple": "Sauf les réserves que vous pouvez avoir à exprimer, et qu'il nous sera possible d'admettre, je crois que notre arrangement pourrait être conclu en deux mots, c’est que vous prendriez la totalité des actions, et que vous accepteriez purement et simplement l’acte de société. À la qualité de bailleur de fonds joignant celle d’administrateur inamovible, vous avez, ce me semble toutes les garanties, tous les avantages qu’il est juste de vous accorder: il n’y aurait plus qu’à nous entendre sur la répartition des actions industrielles. Combien en exigez-vous? [.]" ("Except from reservations which you could have, and which we could possibly accept, I believe our arrangement could be put into two words: you will take all the shares and will purely and simply accept the deed of the society. Concerning the quality of the financial backer joining that of the irremovable administrator, you have, it seems to me, all guarantees, all advantages that it is fair to grant you: there is no more to be done than to agree on the repartition of the industrial shares. How many of them do you demand? [.]"). Proudhon awaits the recipient's observations and conditions: "nous avons depuis un mois commencé de sérieuses démarches pour grouper notre capital; il nous importe de savoir si nous devons ou non les continuer [.]" ("A month ago we launched serious steps to put together our capital; it matters for us to know if we may or may not continue to do this [.]"). - On headed stationery of "La Voix du Peuple, journal quotidien et hebdomadaire". The letter by Proudhon's widow to Lachâtre (Passy, 19 Nov. 1874) deals with a copy of a letter by Proudhon addressed to Lachâtre which she recently received from M. Léon Gélineau, expressing her hope to learn the year in with Proudhon had written it, as a brochure called "l'Epoche à Amétié" is mentioned there.
