Autograph letter signed by the dandy count, two pages (26 lines), written in black ink (to Henri Lapauze) asking his correspondent to make modifications to a future publication concerning him: "... I would be obliged if you would not forget the promised bibliographical notice, it will repair the small error that we noted regarding the omission of my name..." He also wonders about the identity of the sender of a visiting card he recently received: "I would like to know if the enclosed card is that of M. Emile Blauet who long collaborated with Le Figaro, a word in reply on this subject, I beg you..." Henry Lapauze (1867-1925) was a journalist and art critic who became, in 1905, curator of the Petit Palais, converted four years earlier into a museum whose collections he considerably enriched by acquiring notably the Courbet, Henner, and Falguière collections, with, in the twilight of his life, a marked predilection for the Decorative Arts of which he was one of the ardent promoters.
