"...mon ami Muhlfeld [...] me prie d'être témoin à son mariage"

Signed autograph card from Stéphane Mallarmé addressed to Alidor Delzant, written on the recto in black ink. Envelope included. A small water stain affecting the beginning of the card, without hindering readability.
Alidor Delzant was a lawyer, collector and bibliophile. Friend of the Goncourts, he devoted a work to them and was Edmond's secretary and testamentary legatee.
"Voici que j'écris un jour trop tôt, je suis confus : mon ami Muhlfeld qui me prie d'être témoin à son mariage, ce lundi prochain..." ["Here I am writing a day too early, I am confused: my friend Muhlfeld who asks me to be witness at his wedding, this coming Monday..."]
"On the 20th of this month, also spring-like, he signs the municipal register as witness at the wedding of Lucien Muhlfeld, one of the leading figures of La Revue blanche, and all this fine company dines in evening dress at La Tour d'Argent enlivened by the laughter of Misia and the Natanson brothers."
