Francis JAMMES (Tournay 1868 - Hasparren 1938),... Lot 70

Francis JAMMES (Tournay 1868 - Hasparren 1938), poet. Set of 2 signed autograph pieces addressed to Madame Oettinger, a friend, written in black ink and accompanied by their envelope. The first is a signed autograph letter, written in Hasparren on November 10, 1920, one page in-4 on blue paper, the poet wishing her well. "... wishes that merge with those we formulate for you so good, so eager to help. I can't forget Orion's house, the poor and sick it welcomed, the evenings under the lamp...". The second piece, addressed to Madame Oettinger, in Orion, is a signed autograph manuscript in three parts entitled "Le Poète", "La Gentiane" and "La Bruyère", corresponding to the poem read by Pomme d'Anis, a character in his work "Pomme d'Anis, ou L'histoire d'une jeune fille infirme", chapter III. The manuscript text differs from the final text in a number of ways. It is written on 2 double-sided sheets of in-8 writing paper.
