Neatly penned ALS in French, one page, 5.25 x 8.25, September 9, 1878. Written from Medan, a untranslated letter to a colleague asking him to hold a box at the Theatre de l'Ambigu for a performance of Les Deux Orphelines, a melodrama by Ennery and Eugene Cormon. In very good to fine condition, with light creasing and toning, and a short tear to the bottom edge. The Théâtre de l’Ambigu-Comique (Theatre of the Comic-Ambiguity) was a Parisian theatre founded in 1769 on the boulevard du Temple immediately adjacent to the Théâtre de Nicolet. L'Assommoir and Nana, the seventh and ninth novels in Zola's twenty-volume series Les Rougon-Macquart, were both successfully adapted at the theatre in 1879 and 1881.
