Political letter in which Jules Ferry protests against the use of his image associated with that of General Boulanger, despite the fact that he had been at the forefront of the republican struggle against the latter’s supporters. Jules Ferry was then campaigning in Saint-Dié for the legislative elections of September-October 1889 - which he would lose.
