The author examines Madame Henry’s fraught relationship with the then Consul-General of Australia, Biard d’Aunet, outlined in her letter of complaint to the President of the Republic, Felix Faure. These letters are printed here in full and with the rest of the dossier, now held at the Quai d’Orsay, ‘leave no doubt that what she was doing was very much like the programmes of the Alliance Française’ (not then established in Sydney), through her Cercle Littéraire Français.
