ALS in French, one page, 4.5 x 3.5, January 2, 1896. Letter to his sister Anna. In full, “You’ve probably received the letter I wrote the day before yesterday in reply to Raymond’s letter. At that time we hadn’t heard the horrible news about Willy’s death. Poor George must be in a terrible state! I thank you for the good wishes you send us and we reciprocate them. May they come true because the years are getting worse and worse. My health isn’t good and my life is beset with dizzy spells I’ll never be able to get rid of anymore. Honorine [Verne’s wife] is well & we hug you both heartily.” In fine condition, with a couple small pencil notations and a light shade of toning. COA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
