MONSABRÉ (Reverend Father Jacques M.-L.). - Lot 192
MONSABRÉ (Reverend Father Jacques M.-L.). Blois, 1827 - 1907. Dominican, preacher and man of letters. Famous speaker at Notre-Dame de Paris. Autograph letter signed "A. J. M. Monsabré". Le Havre, May 9, 1886. 1 page in-8. An amiable letter in which Père Monsabré thanks his correspondent for sending him a number of works, and details his imminent return to Paris, where he plans to attend the Salon des OEuvres. He apologizes for never having attended the sessions of this foundation, and concludes on a note of modesty tinged with humor: "...If I seem a little silly, you'll forgive me...". An enjoyable piece, illustrating the simple, accessible personality of one of the great Catholic preachers of the 19th century.
