ALS in French, signed along the right edge, “Degas,” one page, 4.25 x 5.5, no date. The increasingly blind Degas writes to famous art critic Arsene Alexandre, in full (translated): “Please be so kind as to send me your article on the ‘Friends of the Louvre.’ The magazine ‘La Libre Parole’ mentions it, Orimond has read it and I am the one who hasn’t? I am so anxious to read your article (or rather to have it read to me) that you should not make me wait one more day. I have lost this morning Zalmyr, an admirable reader. I still have Sprunk (from Debats magazine) a melodic reader.” In fine condition. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
