ALS in French, one page, 5.5 x 7.25, February 23, 1852. Letter to Louis-Stanislas Godefroy, an agent of the Society of the Arts, in part (translated): "I have reproaches to make against you. I hope it will not happen to me anymore. If the committee agrees to my request I will correct the situation immediately. If your opinion carries any weight please help me. My situation is good. I owe 42 francs and I have some very curious news to give to you." Addressed on the second integral leaf in Baudelaire's hand. In fine condition.
