Our copy is enriched by a signed autograph letter, two pages, Pierre Loti Sarah Bernhardt, pasted on the page of fake title, "Dear friend, we wish joy and sun to your adorable little Simone, my wife that his eyes prevent me from writing, tells me, on his part as mine, I know that this marriage satisfies you and I am all happy .. Your letter of invitation, however, also caused a small melancholy emotion, because I felt that this marriage pushed us, a little more, - you, me, all those of our generation, - in the past ...
I kiss your hands with all my affection, already so old. Pierre Loti ".
