Description

8vo. 1 page on bifolium. With autograph address on verso. To Madame Alexandre about having his melodies engraved with French text for those desirous of singing them, asking her to hand them over to the engraver and deliverer of the letter: "Voulez vous avoir la bonté de remettre au graveur, porteur de ce billet, les mélodies que vous avez à moi. Je vais décidément les faire graver en texte français à l'usage des personnes qui auraient la fantaisie de les chanter: Je crains que ce ne soit pas long à compter - mais enfin! [.]". - On headed stationery of the Écoles communales, where Gounod directed singing education, and of the Orphéon theatre, which Gounod operated from 1852. Small tear in left margin; slightly creased and brownstained; traces of former mounting on reverse.
