Description

Spanish mezzo-soprano, who's career ended tragically at the age of 28 when she was killed in a riding accident. ALS in French, signed 'Malibran,' one page, 5 x 8, 1830. Letter to her brother-in-law. The letter reads, "Here it goes: so, I am a beast -- just a moment, I am not yet finished. I will explain -- as follows: First, I am a beast for not having written you, but, you are twice as beastly for not having come to see me when you know there is no need to ask permission. What does all this mean, nasty brother-in-law? Eh? Answer your beautiful and superb sister (in-law) in person, do you understand? And don't make me wait." In fine condition, with several folds. COA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
