Autograph letter signed to the printer BONAVENTURE. Paris, September 29, 1858, 2 pages in-8 in black ink on blue paper, address on the other sheet (folds and tear due to the stamp). "Dear Sir, you must excuse me once, just once more. I have been taken over by the Revue Contemporaine for five days and the article Gautier is only halfway through. So I won't be able to get back to it until Tuesday. [...] There is still some caricature work at the printers [...] I hope that the article will be well done afterwards so that Théophile and you will forgive me [...] I am anxious to take on Asselineau's book [the Double Life] [...]."
