Italian opera singer (1811-1869) who performed widely in Europe, the United States, and South America, and was among the leading sopranos of the 19th century. ALS in French, three pages on two adjoining sheets, 3.25 x 5.25, July 23 [1846]. Handwritten letter to Mr. Lumly, in full (translated): “I thank you a thousand times for your lovely note and for your very kind invitation. But, sadly, I can not accept because I am suffering a little and am obliged to stay at home the entire day. I even had to cancel my concert this evening. Have pity on me because it is I who lost the pleasure of your enjoyable company and also of seeing your beautiful countryside. But I hope to be luckier some other time. Please accept my sincere salutation.” In fine condition.
