Lettre autographe signée adressée à Henri Lapauze et concernant la réédition de l'un de ses ouvrages

Autograph letter signed by the dandy count, 22 lines written in black ink, addressed to his friend and bibliographer the critic Henri Lapauze:
"Neuilly,
Indeed, dear friend, you would give me great pleasure by continuing to point out to your readers the faithfulness of word & the good conduct of this edition, which encounters more and more the serious reception to which, I hope, it is entitled, by showing more clearly what those titles that have become famous contained, a little confidence, and which want to deserve to be so after a more mature examination. And, if you insist on the poor passiflora, of which your wife speaks to me so eloquently and elegantly in a letter that would be a very beautiful 'art criticism', this will delight, at the same time, a luminous shadow, and my chiaroscuro. Robert de M. 4 February 08."
