Lettre autographe signée de Robert de Montesquiou proposant plusieurs choix de rendez-vous à son correspondant

Autograph letter signed by the dandy count, one and a half pages (15 lines), written in black ink (to Henri Lapauze) offering him several appointment options at his home: "... I shall be delighted to receive you on Friday at 10 o'clock or at 2 o'clock as you prefer... We are charmed to have you in Douai..."
A black ink stain in the margin on the verso of the letter.
Henry Lapauze (1867-1925) was a journalist and art critic who became, in 1905, curator of the Petit Palais, converted four years earlier into a museum whose collections he considerably enriched by acquiring notably the Courbet, Henner, and Falguière collections, with, in the twilight of his life, a marked predilection for the Decorative Arts of which he was one of the ardent promoters.
