Autograph letter signed “Nadar” to a friend

Usual fold marks
Nadar, financially in a critical situation, demands accountability from a friend with whom he has invested
“Mon ami,
Ne sachant plus ton adresse je t’écris au Rabelais. Frederigotti est-il arrivé – ou quand arrive-t-il ? J’ai mis complètement mes intérêts en cette affaire dans tes mains et je te prie bien instamment de presser le résultat.
Il y a un besoin réel.
Ton Nadar”
In the same year 1857, a judgment of the Imperial Court of Paris remained the exclusive property of his pseudonym “Nadar“, under which he signed his writings and which was used by his photographic studio under the direction of his son. Indeed, the pseudonym Nadar had first been used by a company formed around his younger brother Adrien Tournachon, in the forms Nadar jeune and Nadar jne, sometimes causing confusion.
