ALS in French, two pages on two adjoining sheets, 4.5 x 7, March 7, 1887. Letter to art critic G. Geffroy. In full (translated): “You know that I am expecting a word from you tomorrow morning or a telegram later (but not too late). I wish you success, for after all you’ve told me, my only thought is that of Mont St. Michel where I could possibly return if I see that there is a beautiful thing to paint for our exposition. In any case, let me know by telegram the hour and station at which you will arrive.” In fine condition, with light pencil notation to top and a bit of trivial soiling. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Mont Saint Michel is a small rocky island off the north coast of France at the mouth of the Couesnon River in Normandy, and is best known for the medieval Benedictine Abbey and steepled church that occupies most of the clump of rocks jutting out of the waters of the English Channel.
