LITERATURE - VERNE Jules (1828 - 1905) - Autograph letter signed

Studied law in Nantes, then in Paris. After a few "odds and ends", he published Cinq semaines en ballon (Five Weeks in a Balloon) in 1862, which was followed by 54 volumes. He travelled a lot and wrote a lot. Autograph letter signed "Jules Verne" to E. de Genissot d’Arnoville. Amiens, January 31, 1900, 1 p. large in-8°, envelope attached. Very beautiful rare piece. Jules Verne expresses to his correspondent his regrets at not being able to satisfy his desire to be received by him:: “Je n'aurais d'ailleurs rien à vous apprendre qui n'ait été déjà souvent raconté au public”.
