L.A.S. "GPuccini", Milano November 1, 1909, to Zorah DORLY at the Théâtre de la Monnaie in Brussels; 1 page in-4 addressed to her, address on reverse; in Italian. Beautiful letter to the creator in French of Madame Butterfly. [Zorah DORLY sang Butterfly in the French premiere of Madame Butterfly at the Monnaie in Brussels on October 29, 1909.] He had a good trip, but had hoped to see her at the station before his departure. He left the next day for Torre del Lago. He asks her for details about the second performance of Butterfly, and wishes her a new and great triumph ("Vi prego di darmi là notizie della 2a di Butterfly ben dettagliate - e tanti, tanti auguri per voi per un nuovo e grande trionfo vostro")...
