LS in French, signed “Alexandre,” one page, 8 x 10, June 1, 1880. Letter to "His Serene Highness the Landgrave Alexis of Hesse-Philippsthal," in part (translated): "I very cordially thank your Serene Highness for the affectionate letter and for the kind words that it transmits to me, as much for me, as for the recollection of the one who is no more and of whom the remembrance remains forever ineffaceable. This evidence of sympathy has touched me deeply. I beg Your Serene Highness to receive the assurance of it with my sincere affection." In fine condition.
From the personal collection of a lifelong collector, teacher, and traveler with a passion for world history. His collecting years ranged from the 1970s to the present day, meaning that several of the premier pieces have not been on the market in decades.
