8vo. 2 pp. on bifolium and oblong 12mo. To the brother of a recently deceased poet, declining the offer to take an active role in a posthumous edition. Prudhomme expresses his sympathy and accepts a dedication but cites his work on the preface for the posthumous edition of Paul Delair's poetry "Testament poétique, poésies posthumes" (Paris, 1895) and his poor health as reasons for declining the offer to participate: "Je suis profondément ému de la communication que vous avez eu la pensée toute sympathique de me faire. J'ai appris avec une peine très vive la fin de votre excellent frère. Ses vers m'avaient frappé par des qualités d'art très réussies et par leur accent si douloureux. Combien je me suis attendri et navré en lisant la pièce qu'il m'avait dédiée du bord de la tombe. J'accepte de grand cur la dédicace du recueil de ses poésies que vous projetez de publier et je m'en remets entièrement à vous pour la disposition des parties de l'ouvrage. Je suis débordé par mes occupations et tout absorbé en ce moment par l'édition des poésies posthumes de Paul Delair; j'y fais une préface avec biographie et c'est un travail difficile et long, d'autant plus que je suis mal portant. Je ne peux donc pas, à mon grand regret, collaborer effectivement à la publication très intéressante que votre piété fraternelle vous fait entreprendre. Je m'y associe de tous mes vux pour le succès dont l'uvre est digne [.]". - The lithographed document is a voter invitation card ("carte d'électeur") issued in Paris on 27 April 1902 for the French legislative election. Prudhomme's information was filled out by an official and one corner was cut off as part of the electoral process. - Insignificantly stained.
