LOTI Pierre (1850-1923) [AF 1891, 13e f]. - Lot 139
LOTI Pierre (1850-1923) [AF 1891, 13e f]. L.A.S. "Pierre Loti", Rochefort March 11, 1918, to Ambassador Jules CAMBON; 3 pages in-8. Loti hopes to be able to give his vote to Cambon, but fears that he has already given his word: "I have been living so far away from Paris and the Academy since the war, that I do not know who is coming. He has not forgotten his kind welcome "at the Mustapha Palace [in Algiers], at a time of youth when I felt quite anxious to be an academician of the day before, as if it constituted for me a too early patent of maturity". At the top of the letter, he adds that he has just received the list of candidates: "I am not committed to any of them and I am quite happy to commit myself formally to you" [Jules CAMBON will be elected to the Academy on May 16, 1918]. A L.A.S. to Mrs. de CAILLAVET is attached (2 p. in-8 with her motto, envelope). He thanks her for her approach "for my poor Rochefort".
