French writer and dramatist (1824-1895) best known for Camille and for being the illegitimate son of famed novelist Alexandre Dumas. Three untranslated ALSs in French, all signed "A. Dumas," totaling four pages, 5 x 8, circa 1848. One is to poet and playwright Joseph Autran, referring to his play La Fille d´Eschyle. In part (translated): "You must think we are all dead because of the Republic, or due to an epidemic or to an insurrection—Mistake! We are all fine. I write to you to, like peasantry would say, to prevent you that once she will return Miss Rachel will hold the role in La Fille D´Eschyle. That is the response she has given to me personally, answering to my last call demand. She also asks you to forgive her for not having answered to you."
Another is penned on the reverse of a letter by another individual, who makes reference to his father, "le papa Dumas." Dumas writes, in part (translated): "Do not feel impatient if you don't receive more often letters from your friend. He will simply quote you Hoffmann's words, who said 'We always talk about Poland and we never go there. It is the European Odéon. Unfortunately, answered Madame Poussin, they never played La Fille d´Eschyle." In overall fine condition.
