ALS in French, signed “de Bc,” one page, 4.25 x 5.5, no date. Letter to the author Ferdinand de Gramont. In full (translated): "I waited for you. I received your letter, yesterday, and nothing distracts this poor girl named imagination like waiting, at each moment, for a friend, and nothing is more indigestible and destructive than eating a dinner for one that was made for two.” Affixed to a slightly larger card. In fine condition. Gramont had a good knowledge of heraldry, and famously helped the author to create coats of arms for the various families in Balzac’s Comedie humaine. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
