French writer (1871-1922) known for the monumental sixteen-volume In Search of Lost Time, regarded as one of the greatest achievements in world literature. 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. This must be just a quick line, as Antoinette is waiting. I entrust you with giving my kindest regards to Morand—he has such a natural goodness." 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).
