French composer (1842–1912) best known for such operas as ‘Manon,’ ‘Werther,’ and ‘Thais.’ ALS in French, signed “J. Massenet,” three pages on two adjoining sheets, 4.25 x 7, April 16, 1903. Massenet pens an elegant letter, roughly translated in part: "I am moved by your inquiring after my health...alas—for a number of days, I've been bed-ridden; I don't know when I will be capable of walking again without the risk of aggravating the injury which has so cruelly brought me this suffering..." Creasing to the bottom right corner of the second adjoining page, affecting the end of the signature, a few trivial separations at the edge of the mailing folds, some light adhesive remnants from previous display, and the signature and inscription a shade or two light, but completely legible, otherwise fine condition.
