The letters of the great Russian writer Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev to M me Pauline Viardot; the famous singer; have their story. Lost or stolen; when the war of 1870 forced the Viardot family to leave Baden for London; these letters were found more than a quarter of a century later. Naturally; Ms. Viardot wished to take possession of documents which she had never voluntarily divested; and to which she had all the moral and legal rights. On the other hand; the motives advanced by the present possessor to keep the letters were not without value either.
