French painter, illustrator, caricaturist, and lithographer (1857–1926). ALS in French, signed “A. Willette,” one page both sides, 5.5 x 4.25, no date, but most likely before 1899. Letter to Emile Francois Loubet, later president of France. In part (translated): “I am at your service…your friends are my friends. Please tell me…when they will honor me with their visit. I’ll receive them with pleasure…’Domine non soum dignous’ [Lord I am not worthy] as my parish priest says. I have to hurry off to my dentist who’s going to install a jaw that will permit me to do justice to your dinner.” At the top of the front, Willette has sketched a creeping black cat labeled, in French, “I’m still trembling,” with a French word balloon coming from the cat which reads, “Pardon, excuses. A moment ago I was just a big ink blot.” Toned adhesive remnant along left edge of front page, lightly affecting a couple words, and a couple light creases, otherwise fine condition.
