FLAUBERT (Gustave). Born in Rouen. 1821-1880. French writer. L.A.S. "Gus Flaubert" to "Mon cher ami" [Émile Augier or Paul de Saint-Victor?] S.l.n.d. [1855-1869] 1 page in-8 on slate blue paper. Annotated at the foot (in another hand): "42 Bd du temple". UNPUBLISHED LETTER ...Would you like us to go together to [Madame] de Grigneuseville's, next Saturday at 8 1/2 in the evening. I will fetch you from the theatre. If you can't make it on Saturday, it will have to be on Sunday. But I prefer Saturday. And if you promise me, will you be exact? Flaubert took up residence at 42 BOULEVARD DU TEMPLE in 1855 (the year he wrote the last part of Madame Bovary), an address he left in 1869, having become too expensive, for 4 rue Murillo (a more modest address, on the fourth floor, overlooking the Parc Monceau). Almost nothing is known about MADAME AUGUSTA RAMPAL, COMTESSE DE GRIGNEUSEVILLE, other than that she was a musician and lived (among other places) in the Château de Grigneuseville, near Rouen. Gustave Flaubert sent her around fifty letters, which have not been found to this day. Jean Bruneau remarks on the subject of Mme de Grigneuseville in Flaubert's Correspondance (Pléiade, volume II, note 1 page 1233), noting in a letter from Louise Colet to Flaubert dated 6 January 1854 that "Le comte de Toulouse-Lautrec is preparing a work on this very curious and endearing figure of a woman...", that he has found no trace of this work anywhere.
