Autograph card signed by Judith Gautier addressed to Céleste Chrétien, her housekeeper, written in black ink on both sides of a card with letterhead from 30 rue Washington in Paris. Judith regrets leaving her house in Dinard: "It was kind of you to send us flowers from the garden. It gave us pleasure and regrets because there must still be beautiful days there." She expresses here her passion for horticulture: "Every evening, I burn a eucalyptus leaf from your trees, to perfume my room. The terrace is full of chrysanthemums in bloom and there were three tomatoes that are ripening on my wardrobe."
