SHORT NOTE RELATING TO A DEBT.
"I have the honor of sending you the sum of one hundred francs, interest on the sum that I owe to Mr. Chambaud. Please send me a receipt. Here's a postage stamp for the letter."
It could be Gustave Chambaud, mayor of Orange from 1860 to 1862, or a relative of his. Fabre had resided in this town from 1870 to 1879, before settling in the Harmas de Sérignan-du-Comtat.
Attached is a photocopy of the first page of a letter from Fabre to a prosecutor. It concerns the "hullabaloo" that followed his remarriage in July 1887 to his then 23-year-old maid.
