Beautifully penned ALS in Italian, to the music critic Isidoro Cambiasi, December 6 [1832] one page, 4.75 x 7. Letters of Glinka can only been obtained from the short period he spent in Italy from 1830. His relatorship with his musical publisher, the famous house Ricordi, was mediated through Cambiasi: “When I asked you to give me the pleasure of coming to my house at two, I had forgotten I had an appointment at two thirty. I therefore beg you to anticipate in half hour your very kind visit. A thousand salutations to your very kind wife Cirilla and beleve me your very affectionate friend, Michele Glinka.” In very good condition, with light intersecting folds, scattered moderate surface creasing, uniform toning, some scattered light spots of soiling, and a professionally repaired tear towards the bottom edge. The first Glinka we have ever offered.
