New Addition: 1874 Letter by literary historian & publisher Georges d'Heyli

Georges d'Heylli, Literary Historian, Archivist & Publisher. Letter to unidentified correspondent. July 3, 1874.

 
Georges d'Heylli was an important bibliophile, publisher and historian of the avant-garde, notably as editor of the small press Librairie des Bibliophiles and his historiographic journal Gazette Anecdotique, littéraire, artistique et bibliographique, of which the Revenant Archive holds a substantial collection (see the tab in the menu bar). In this note, Heylli seems to be requesting to an unidentified fellow publisher or critic that a notice of one of his forthcoming publications be placed in a publication with which they are involved.

A partial & Conjectural transcription (it will require more time & input from others to entirely decipher):

"Mon Cher Confrère
Voulez vous–si vous le pouvez–être assez aimable pour [insérer] le petit extrait [ci-joint] dans un de [vos] [courrier] de [théatre?].–Je vous [enverrai?] le Volume dès qu'il aura paru, [+] je [vous] prie de recevoir, mon Cher Confrère, l'[Assurance?] de mes Sentiments bien devoué au même temps que tous mes remerciements

Georges d'Heylli
3 Juillet–74"

Or in rough, conjectural English:

"My Dear Colleague
Would you like--if you can--to be so kind as to [insert] the attached little extract in one of your [mailings] to [the theatre?].–I [shall send?] you the Volume as soon as it shall have appeared, [+] I beg you to accept, my Dear Colleague, the [assurance?] of my very devoted Sentiments at the same time as all my many thanks.
Georges d'Heylli
July 3, [18]74"
