PASTEUR, Louis (1822-1895). Autograph letter signed ("L. Pasteur") to "mon cher maître," Arbois, 1 November 1878.

In French. One page, 206 x 130mm.

Pasteur thanks his correspondent for his congratulations on a "grand honneur," recently bestowed upon him—most likely his recent elevation to the post of Grand Officer in the Legion of Honor. He expresses his hopes that the distinction will inspire him, and makes mention of Marcellin Berthelot, who succeeded him as secretary of the Academy of Sciences.
