ZOLA (Émile). Autograph letter signed [to the writer and politician Clovis Hugues]. Médan, November 8, 1885. 2 pp. in-8, splits at the folds. "I am told that you have just defended "Germinal" against the censorship, at the hall of the boulevard des Capucines, and I thank you with all my heart. Émile Zola and William Busnach had drawn a play from the novel but only obtained permission to perform it in 1888. Clovis Hugues had given a lecture on November 6, 1885, entitled "Émile Zola's Germinal and the Social Question"]. But this letter has a self-serving purpose. I have a poor little cousin in Aix, whom I would very much like to place, as she has a family to support. She has passed her teacher's exam, she has applied for a job, and nothing has happened. She would accept anything, either a place in the nursery schools or a place in the local schools. She writes to me that she should be recommended to the Inspector of the Academy in Marseille. Can't you do anything for her, dear Sir and colleague? It would be a good deed, and I would be very grateful to you personally. Give me some advice, tell me what I should do. I forgot: my little cousin is called Angèle Pécout and lives in Aix with her mother, rue des Trois-Ormeaux, 3... I know your colleague, Mr. Leydet, who could help us... "Émile Zola's little cousin would be appointed deputy director of the nursery school in Salon-de-Provence, thanks to the intervention of Clovis Hugues and Victor Leydet, respectively deputy of Marseille and Aix-en-Provence.
