On Friday, I have at the same time the meeting of the commission of authors and composers, so I would prefer Tuesday, the 18th? If that can work out that way, it will be for the best.

A thousand compliments and good memories ... " 2 sides correspondence card, no place, 8th March no year

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

saying that he has not "yet received the manuscript of the 2nd act of Jean de Nivelle. Please have a brochure corrected and send it to me tomorrow. There is only one or two pages to correct. It's a reversal, I think, that makes it incomprehensible. I see that nothing has been done today about Lakmé at the theater; Why? I know that we could not gather the main artists but why not take advantage of it to make Bazille work carefully with the 3 girls, and especially Miss Rémy? Before taking a stand on this subject, it is necessary that we can judge on a sufficiently learned and well developed thing. Will you tell Carvalho that I ask him that? My absence can not be used better and it is even better that this work be done without me ...", 4 sides 8vo., no place, no date
