Sought-after ALS in French, one page, 5.25 x 7.25, no date. Letter to "Princess," in full (translated): "I am very much afraid I shall not be able to come on Saturday, though I shall do my best.

In very good to fine condition, with a rusty paperclip impression to the top edge, and a block of toning and two thin areas of paper from prior display (easily re-matted out).
