ALS in French, signed “John S. Sargent,” three pages on two adjoining sheets, 4.5 x 7, 13 Tite Street letterhead, May 21. Letter to an unidentified woman. In part (translated): “I was so much beside myself with 1,000 things to do and the arrival of Monet, Mirbeau, and other Parisians that I find myself owing you two letters and my apologies! I'm delighted to see that the French are making a habit of coming to London. I may go to Paris by June 1 above all to see the International Exposition.” In fine condition. Sargent painted his friend Monet twice, and when Monet visited London he often stayed with Sargent. An excellent letter mentioning some of the greatest artists of the age.
