ALS in Italian, signed “All my kisses, your, Muckilini,” four pages on two adjoining sheets, 5.5 x 7.25, Regina–Palast–Hotel letterhead, no date. Lengthy love letter to Puccini’s lover, German soprano Rose Ader. Translated in part: “My sweet Rosa I have received your telegram, so much expected and so dear to me. Thank you my good Rosa…[Follows a detailed timetable of the route Rosa needs to take]...I was planning to go to Salzburg but I won’t. Tonight Mozart, the day after tomorrow Arianne and that evening departure to Italy…My sweet treasure: I think always ‘immer’ so much about you, my only great joy.” Intersecting folds, pencil notation along top edge of first page, small area of ink pooling to a single letter of signature, and a couple light brushes to text, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope addressed in Puccini’s hand.
