Huysmans responds enthusiastically to Métenier's play: 'elle est toujours et toujours superbe votre "En Famille" nouvelle' (controversially produced with a cast of criminals, and about an execution). Other writers mentioned include Lafitte, [Jean-Louis] Forain, and a M[onsieur] Lorain who has dedicated two sonnets to him; he writes to Havard about his article in the Nouvelliste de Bordeaux. (4)
