With the letters are nine newsclippings re the death of Chateaubriand. In an [1879] letter, Alexandre Dumas, fils, discusses a visit and mutual acquaintances. In addition the collection contains a brief note, 1872 August 24, from Edward Drouyn de Lhuys; a 1931 note and enclosure from Arthur Ellis to Marcel Bouteron re a [Balzac?] letter for sale at Sotheby's; and an autopen signature on a printed sentiment by Richard Nixon.
