"Robert de MONTESQUIOU (1855-1921), man of letters, dandy poet.
Autograph letter signed addressed to the Countess Griffulhe, his cousin, dated January 1901, written in black ink.
Robert de Montesquiou wants to clarify a dispute about the sending of ""a rare pamphlet, printed in a very small number (put on sale at fifty only) and of which I can only praise without reserve the typography, although it owes me a lot.""
He deplores that his friend did not send him her address to receive the work, and complains about her reproaches ""you tell me well of these aromatics, that to the nose of Bourget, the smoke goes up"".
"But believe me, from experience, dear friend, I remember writing that there are people with whom one can have all the wit one wants, without preventing them from being beasts. And there are others with whom you can have all the heart and tact you want, without preventing them... from lacking it. Shouldn't apologizing for introducing them be enough to get them excluded by those you call "True Friends? One of the latter, Robert de Montesquiou.""
Beautiful and large signature. Piece under glass, 3 1/2 pages, in-8."
