SAND, GEORGE [=DUPIN, AMANDINE AURORE LUCIE, BARONNE DUDEVANT] Autograph letter signed , single page of a folded sheet of stationery, integral leaf blank, addressed "Cher Monsieur Browning" and dated 13 May 1852. 5 1/4 x 4 inches (13 x 10 cm); about eighteen lines in French written in blue ink. Some matstain, usual folds, trace of old mounting on verso of blank leaf. This letter was written to Robert Browning during the Brownings' 1852 visit to Paris. Elizabeth Barrett Browning was a great admirer of the author, and had written of her in the 1844 Poems: Thou large-brained woman and large-hearted man, Self-called George Sand! whose soul, amid the lions Of thy tumultuous senses, moans defiance And answers roar for roar, as spirits can! As a matter of propriety and respect the arrangements for the meeting were made through Robert, and in this letter Sand furthers the friendship (they first met in the middle of February of that year, and the Brownings returned from Paris to London in July of that year).
