ALS in French, one page on a 4.5 x 5.5 French ‘Carte Pneumatique,’ postmarked June 1, 1917. Letter to her biographer, the critic Achille Segard, in full (translated): “I have found your card when I arrived last night and I hasten to tell you how happy I will be to see you. I will remain for a very little time in Paris, as I am eager to show at Beaufresne and finally work. If you could come soon, please let me know the hour.” In fine condition. In 1913, Segard published the monograph Mary Cassatt: Peintre des Enfants et des Meres. The Chateau de Beaufresne was Cassatt’s country estate, which she had purchased in 1893.
