"Yours of the 15th just was forwarded here from Beauvoir. My daughter has asked me to answer your note, as it was unpleasant to be obliged to refuse a request of yours. Mr. James S. Richardson is one of our oldest friends, and the acquaintance began when my daughter was a very small child and he just returned from college. She holds no nearer relations to him than this, and could not take the liberty of soliciting, or presenting the request of another, for a contribution of money from him for any purpose. We feel assured that no intervention on the part of any one could add to his desire to accede to a request preferred by you in your own personality. With the hope that you may meet with success in your effort and much regret that misfortunes in quick succession here… Read More

Description:
DEGAS, EDGAR. (1834-1917). French artist and one of the founders of Impressionism. ALS. ("Degas"). 1p. 12mo. (Paris), July 26, 1897. To Monsieur Baudin [possibly French porcelain maker, labor activist and member of the Chamber of Deputies EUGƈNE BAUDIN (1853-1918)]. In French with translation.

"If you are still at Mont Dore the 3rd or the 4th, we are going to see one another. I am going there for a cure. I am writing to you in Paris hoping it will be forwarded to you, and at the same time I am writing to Mont Dore assuming that the mailman will find youā€¦"

Degas began to study painting early ā€“ first at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and then in Italy. He exhibited his realistic works at the Salon, but by the 1870s he had become disillusioned with that staid institution. At that time, he took a leading role among his colleagues Renoir, Monet, Sisley, and Pissarro to launch their own exhibit in 1874. Famously, Monet's Impression: Sunrise was on view,
earning its members the appellation "Impressionists,"… Read More

(1805-1883). American industrialist and "Merchant Prince" of Wall Street, congressman and philanthropist. ALS. ("W.E. Dodge"). 2pp. 4to. New York, February 21, 1868. On a folded sheet of Phelps, Dodge & Co. stationery. To J. C. Newkirk, Esq.
"Your esteem'd favr of the 25 ult and 18 came duly to hand the former enclosing memo obtained from Magoun of lots sold & of those remaining, the latter en check for 200$ onā€¦ of payments from Renlack [?] & Franklin. I am perfectly astonished at the obstinacy of the man and cannot understand him at all. I find by looking in my papers that his last settlement was in 1858... With these and the map you can tell pretty well how the matter of the lots stand. But as to what he has rcd I do not see as we can get at it in any other way but by trying to find from the parties as to what they have paid, he has no doubt rcd some 4000$ that he has never paid over. Perhaps if you should say if he will now render a full ā€¦ that I will take his notes pay at… Read More
