Dear good friend, I recommend again to your good offices, my friend Despruneaux, so that you will again do what you can to be of use to him in a very just suit which has already been judged in his favor. Yours, G. Sand XCVI. TO GUSTAVE FLAUBERT Nohant, 15 October, 1868 Here I am "ter hum" where, after having hugged my children and my grandchildren, I slept thirty-six hours at one stretch.
I send you my friend Despruneaux in person. If you know a judge or two, or if your brother could give him a word of support, do arrange it, I kiss you three times on each eye. G. Sand Five minutes' interview and that's all the inconvenience. Paris, Sunday XXVI. TO GEORGE SAND Monday night You are sad, poor friend and dear master; it was you of whom I thought on learning of Duveyrier's death.
XXIX. TO GUSTAVE FLAUBERT 16 November, 1866 Don't take any further steps. Contrary to all anticipations, Despruneaux has gained his suit during the session. Whether you have done it or not, he is none the less grateful about it and charges me to thank you with all his good and honest heart. Bouilhet goes from better to better. I have just seen the directors who are delighted.
If you have, write him a line to watch for the NAME Amedee Despruneaux. It is a civil case which will come up at Rouen in a few days. Tell him that this Despruneaux is the most honest man in the world; you can answer for him as for me. In doing this, if the thing is feasible, you will do me a personal favor. I will do the same for any friend of yours. XXV. TO GUSTAVE FLAUBERT 11 November, 1866
I forgot, I saw Couture this evening; he told me that in order to be nice to you, he would make your portrait in crayon like mine for whatever price you wish to arrange. You see I am a good commissioner, use me. XXVIII. TO GUSTAVE FLAUBERT 16 November, 1866 Thanks, dear friend of my heart, for all the trouble that I gave you with my Berrichon Despruneaux.
Your romantic and liberal old dunce embraces you tenderly. CCL. TO GUSTAVE FLAUBERT Nohant, 5 February, 1873 I wrote to you yesterday to Croisset, Lina thinking that you had returned there. I asked you the little favor which you have already rendered me, namely, to ask your brother to give his patronage to my friend Despruneaux in his suit which is going to be appealed.
