Sully PRUDHOMME - SIGNED AUTOGRAPH LETTER TO Georges LAFENESTRE, 1903. Autographed letter signed to Georges Lafenestre, postmarked and stamped on May 12, 1903.

He talks about his health and that of his correspondent. He has been so affected by illness and so preoccupied with his affairs that he fears he may not have responded to Georges Lafenestre's letter. My dear friend, how sad it is to grow old and sick. We are both very tried, but you are much more to be pitied than me for a thousand reasons. I have your last letter before me and I fear I may not have answered it!

This thought fills me with remorse. I have been both so ill and so preoccupied with my affairs for the past two weeks that I may have neglected to give you news of me.

I would like to be able to send you better news but this persistently wet weather is trying me a lot. Dimensions: 11.1 x 14.1 cm. Condition: See photos for more details. Number of pages: 1 page.
