Synopsis
Excerpt from La Chartreuse de Parme: Précédée d'une Lettre Et d'une Étude Littéraire sur Beyle
Monsieur,
Je vous prie d'excuser le retard qu'éprouve cette réponse à votre lettre du 2 novembre 1845; votre lettre est venue chez moi pendant mon voyage à Naples, et elle a été mêlée à beaucoup de papiers accumulés sur ma table. Occupé des affaires les plus pressées, je n'ai fait la revue de mes papiers que ces jours-ci. Puis, votre lettre se trouvant dans votre brochure sur la vie de Beyle, je ne l'ai lue qu'en lisant votre notice : une vie aussi occupée que la mienne a ses hasards, ses retours, et, si vous songez que jamais personne ne m'a en rien aidé, que je n'ai jamais eu de secrétaire, ni de suppléant, vous concevrez pourquoi je ne réponds que le 30 janvier 1846, à une lettre écrite en novembre dernier.
Ce que j'ai écrit sur Beyle l'a été avec trop de désintéressement et de conviction pour que vous ne soyez pas libre d'en disposer comme bon vous semblera; je n'y mets d'autre condition que celle d'avoir un exemplaire de ses œuvres, que j'aime beaucoup.
