ALS in French, signed “Massenet,” three pages on two adjoining sheets, 4.5 x 7, December 10, 1899. Letter to a friend. In part (translated): “I am thinking of you who must always be so very careful—it is extremely cold. Ah! I have forgotten my worries here—provided that you are very prudent. Your cable gave me some peace of mind—and I sent it on to my dear wife who is also troubled. Our dealings with the Opera-Comique are very precious to us! Has Mr. Albert Carre learned, also through you, about the request I made of Mr. Foncet, who had suggested to me to speak to the Minister? And Mr. Carre, wasn‘t he upset by this game. 'The Minister' (really not a friend of Mr. Carre) now finds himself directly mixed up in this affair. That is serious; and could lead to complications with respect to age; comical—what do you think about it?…P.S. In spite of the hot stove, it is no more than 9 degrees in my room.” A uniform shade of toning, separation to half of adjoining fold, and a pencil notation to the upper left, otherwise fine condition. RRAuction COA.
