"Vous avez toujours des façons charmantes de vous rappeler à vos amis, même quand ils se souviennent"

Signed autograph card from Stéphane Mallarmé addressed to Alidor Delzant written in black ink on both sides. With envelope.
Alidor Delzant was a lawyer, collector and bibliophile. A friend of the Goncourts, he devoted a work to them and was Edmond's secretary and testamentary legatee.
A friendly card in which Mallarmé thanks Alidor Delzant for a surprise sent: "Ma fille a trouvé à la maison, dès notre retour ces jours-ci, la caisse remplie de regards en coulisse ; elle vous remercie beaucoup et Madame Delzant. Vous avez toujours des façons charmantes de vous rappeler à vos amis, même quand ils se souviennent." ["My daughter found at home, upon our return these past days, the crate filled with sidelong glances; she thanks you very much and Madame Delzant. You always have charming ways of reminding your friends of yourself, even when they remember."] The "regards en coulisse" are likely apricots or prunes.
