GONCOURT Edmond de (1822-1896). L.A.S. "Edmond de Goncourt," Sunday, May 9 [1880, to his friend Claudius PoPelin]; half page in-8. Organization of his departure for Flaubert's funeral. "Will you leave tomorrow, Monday, by the 1 o'clock express which will take us to Rouen at 3:25. We will have time to visit Mme. Comanville, to offer ourselves for I don't know what. I think that in the friendship that united us to FLAUBERT, our appearance just for the funeral is a bit brief. Do you feel the same way and is this departure convenient for you?
