Beautiful correspondence to his eldest son Léon, his "big boy" or "son brother". He tells of a walk to the bread fair with his niece Zette; he thought he was with Léon... He evokes family life in Champrosay, his illness and its treatments, sometimes criticizing his doctor: "He doesn't know what a good-natured mephisto he drugs and catechizes. In short, I'm on my 6th injection, four injections each time, and I really haven't gained anything" .... Etc. He advises Léon to publish his work in Juliette Adam's magazine. Two letters are dictated to his secretary Ebner. Attached: 22 L.A.S. from Léon Daudet to his "dear old father", 1893-1894 (78 pages in various formats), tender letters talking about his professors Potain and Charcot, about his readings, giving news of the Parisian and political life, worrying about his father's health; the letters of August-September 1894 are written during a stay at Hauteville House in Guernsey. Plus a L.A.S. and 2 cards a.s. from Alphonse Daudet to his son Lucien: "I believe that you will not be unhappy in your studio next to that of Eugène Delacroix"...
