DELIBES
(Léo, 1836-1891, French Composer of Light Opera & Ballet, including 'Coppélia')
Fine Autograph Letter Signed n French with translation to "My dear ESCUDIER"
(Léon, 1821-1881, Prominent French Journalist, Music Critic and Music Publisher) saying that he is "going to spend all Monday in the country - and I shall return on Tuesday afternoon bringing you the finished waltz - it is going well now ... I shall also take the performer's scores, bring them back in the evening with the little traditional word I also ask you not to give out those of the conductors until I have written the above little word. Try, I beg you, to get Du Locie to announce this break very clearly. For a week all the posters have indicated last performances of Romeo, but there has been nothing for us. Besides, I much believe that it is only after the 20th that we shall stop ... I want to take advantage of my leisure time tomorrow ... by writing all the letters I owe, and especially those from Vienna; What can I say for certain to Mr Swoboda, as well as to Mr Janner - I so much want to reply to them in simple fashion, but I can't keep silent any longer - that would be less than polite ...", 4 sides 8vo., no place, no date
