Victor de LAPRADE, Poet, Academician (Montbrison/ Loire 1812 - 1883) - Letter A.S. from ROYAT (Puy-de-Dôme) August 18, 1869, 3 pages in-8° : "Dear Poet and friend (Aimé GIRON) : I was a stone's throw from Clermont, in Royat, where I'm nursing my rheumatism... Since you have done my poor letter the undeserved honor of printing it. I would at least like it to serve as an example to patriots who are certainly more opulent than I am. I had just read it reproduced in L'AUVERGNE.

I'm staying in Royat until the end of the month, then I'll be in Aurillac (Cantal) until September 15, and from there to Montbrison (Loire)..."
