Autograph signed postcard by Stéphane Mallarmé addressed to Alidor Delzant, written on both sides in black ink. Envelope included. Alidor Delzant was a lawyer, collector and bibliophile. Friend of the Goncourts, he devoted a work to them and was secretary and testamentary legatee of Edmond. "Merci, cher Delzant, de me donner, le premier des deux, si aimablement, de vos nouvelles ; et, ingrat, je n'ai pu me désengager précisément lundi prochain : mais, ici je mets les pieds dans le plat que diriez [vous] du suivant 6 décembre où je serais des vôtres ?" ["Thank you, dear Delzant, for giving me, first of the two, so kindly, your news; and, ungrateful as I am, I could not free myself precisely next Monday: but, here I put my foot in it, what would you say to the following December 6th when I could join you?"]
