About This Item
IVAN TURGENEV (1818-1883). Turgenev was a Russian author. ALS. 1pg. February 25, no year [c. 1882]. 50 Rue de Douai, Paris. An autograph letter signed “Iv. Turgenev”. He wrote in French to writer and influential political figure Juliette Adam (1836-1936), accepting a dinner invitation. In translation, it reads “I will certainly come to dinner at your place on Wednesday, all the while knowing how much it will be difficult for me to replace the great Skoheleff, who takes after Charles XII and not only because of his face.—I will give you at that time 5000 fr. From Vereschaguine, another type of Charles XII; I will tell you how and why.—In the meantime – a thousand friendly salutations. Iv. Turgenev”. Skoheleff was Russian General and military hero Mikhail Skobelev, who had recently been ordered home to Russia. Vereschaguine was Russian painter Vasily Vereshchagin. It is in fine condition with minor faults.
