Autograph letter signed, dated : Paris, to [Humbert Ferrand], 1830 May 13.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/270672454

Expressing gratitude for Ferrand's anxiety on Berlioz's behalf--"it is indeed a rare thing to find a complete man, who has a soul, a heart, and imagination," saying that he did not write the program of the Symphonie fantastique out of vengeance--"I pity and despise her [Harriet Smithson]. She is but an ordinary type of woman, endowed with an instinctive power of expressing those pangs of the human soul which she has never felt, and incapable of entertaining a grand and noble sentiment such as the one with which I have honored her," saying that plans are well advanced for the première of the Fantastique on the 30th, that if Harriet reads the program "she cannot help recognizing herself," mentioning Les francs-juges, Haitzinger, Schroeder-Devrient, [Weber's] Freischütz, [Beethoven's] Fidelio, Onslow, Eugénie Lesueur, Nourrit, Hiller, etc.
