France
Émile Zola
1891 (May) two autograph notes signed on his visiting cards to J.T. Grein (a Dutch born theatre impresario and drama critic) with one autograph envelope addressed within Paris.



Translations of the notes, "My dear colleague, I will happily receive you on whatever day you like, at 6 o'clock, Sunday excepted. Cordially, Émile Zola" and "I shall only be home tomorrow, Monday, after 8 in the evening, and will be pleased, sir, to shake your hand if you can step out at such a late hour. Émile Zola".



It is possible that these invitations were to discuss arrangements for that autumn's production of Thérèse Raquin in London. Photo
