190173686s. l. cachet de Seine-et-Marne 1901. Fine. s. l. cachet de Seine-et-Marne 15 Septembre 1901 12.50 x 17.60 cm une feuille Moving autograph letter signed by Octave Mirbeau addressed to the playwright and founder of the Revue Blanche Alfred Natanson. 15 lines in black ink on a folded sheet mourning paper with black border watermarked ""JDL & cie"" envelope attached. ""Thank you for your kind letter. I already knew from Alexandre Natanson how worried you had been about my wife's condition. It is a delicious joy when one's heart is tormented to know that one has friends like you like all of you the good people of the Relai. Please tell your wife that mine was very touched by her friendship. And embrace everyone with effusion. Also tell Olga Alexandre Natanson's wife and Misia Thadée's wife that we love them tenderly and Alexandre that he is a charming friend."" Long postscript on the poor health of his wife the former actress Alice Régnault: ""Yesterday was not a good day and the wound on her arm presented a nasty appearance. Today it is a little better. But it is something to watch very closely. Movements are made a little more easily but she still suffers extremely at night at the slightest play of the muscles"". Mirbeau had been particularly close to the Revue Blanche group since its launch in Paris in 1891. But it was during the Dreyfus affair that his intimate and lasting friendship with the Natanson brothers Thadée Alexandre and Alfred was strengthened. After aesthetic disagreements over Art Nouveau and the Nabis Mirbeau finally reunited with Thadée around 1900 in a now shared inclination for the young Nabis painters of the Revue Blanche Bonnard Vallotton and Vuillard. The ""Relai"" corresponds to a former coaching inn in Villeneuve-sur-Yonne purchased by Thadée Natanson in 1897 which became a destination for all their writer and artist friends. One could encounter the Nabis painters Vuillard Vallotton Bonnard or Roussel as well as Toulouse-Lautrec. The Revue Blanche played an essential role in France as historian Paul-Henri Bourrelier confirms: ""Most of the most prominent writers painters musicians politicians intellectuals of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries collaborated with it or were associated with it. Created financed and directed by the three Natanson brothers young Polish Jews with the enthusiastic complicity of their fellow students from the Condorcet lycée La Revue blanche quickly became a place of debate on all the subjects that stirred France. It led political battles under the impetus of anarchists like Fénéon Mirbeau; socialists such as Blum G. Moch Péguy; Dreyfusards and founders of the League of Human Rights like Reinach and Pressensé."" unknown
