NERVAL Gérard de (1808-1855). 7 L.A.S. "Gérard de Nerval" (one "Gérard"), [1838-1852], to various; 8 pages in-8, 5 addresses. [Early November 1838, on letterhead Théâtre de la Renaissance], to Anténor JOLY. " V. HUGO told me that you would send me yourself the 2 stalls" (for Ruy Blas). He gives his address at the Hotel Caumartin. " V. Hugo promised me also three small boxes of hanger. You know that we will read [his play Léo Burckart] whenever you want. Dumas talks about Monday, so that we can talk without worry. It will be before then if you want. Your brother tells me that you have an actor for our second role. It is very beautiful, if he is good. [27 June 1845], to Paul FOUCHER " I would like to ask you if you can take on the task of doing an opera act for M. de Fresne known in the musical world as Micaeli who has a positive promise from Pillet for an act - which the same Pillet has asked him to do on the subject of Walter Scott's Constable of Chester "... October 19 [1846], to Nestor ROQUEPLAN (?). "Your letter is so obliging that it is for me to apologize now and to recognize my own error. I had thought that M. de Girardin had, last year, asked purely and simply for my entries (which I had had for a long time as partial editor of the feuilleton). Théophile [Gautier] having his own as author, that did not change anything to the position of the journal. You see how I was led to present myself lately without any real right, which I did only for the necessities of my work. What upset me was only a rather harsh procedure, which could easily be avoided in such cases. Usually the controllers understand that anyone who has already been able to obtain an entry is entitled to some consideration. [...] Moreover, the spectator who has been deluded about his position is offered the possibility of seeing the show end. He may find himself with people whom it is unpleasant to leave alone". December 31 [1847 ?], to Mr. MIRECOURT, at the National Opera, asking for three seats for the evening performance. .../... March 1850, to Arsène HOUSSAYE. "Will you or can you this evening make me give or two places stalls of ladies or a small box according to the forecasts of the receipt ". Tuesday [29 October 1852], to Pierre BOCAGE. "I finally got hold of Houssaye, he seemed to me very irresolute. I do not believe that his letter is a defeat, but he fears the others. He asked me what roles you could play that would not be held. I told him about Tartuffe, The Misanthrope, The Father of the Family, and a host of others, held it is true, but in which you can perform in your turn, as well as new plays. I have not been able to obtain a precise answer, but it seems to me that the cause is not lost if you do it well. See him at his place, I will talk to him again about all this and about the necessity of having the last of the great actors, whose generation seems to be dying out. [1852 ?], to Jules VERTEUIL at the Comédie Française. "Really, is there still a way tonight for 4 places and pretty women - always"...
