ALS in French, signed across two pages “C. Saint-Saens,” three pages on two adjoining sheets, 5.75 x 6.75, Monte Carlo, January 30, 1903. In full (translated): “Very honored with the Royal Harmonic Society’s intentions. I am happy to let you know that nothing stands in my way of coming to Antwerp on April 11. I leave it to the Society to choose among my works, but I think that the presence of an organ calls naturally for my Symphony in C minor to be added to the program.” A central horizontal fold with slight separations to edges, adjoining vertical fold passing between letters of the signature and with slight separations to edges, toned tape remnants to corner tips, and a subtle block of toning over the signature area from previous display, otherwise fine condition.
