A condolence letter to Marquis Marc de Favrat on the occasion of the death of Princess Elisabeth of Romania, former Queen of Greece. Torra-Balari states that initially he had wanted to write a congratulatory letter to acknowledge the bestowal of a title on Favrat: "Mi querido Marc, veuillez trouvez ici l'expression de peine pour la mort de ta chère Reine [...] La vie est ainsi! [...]". - Elisabeth of Romania (1894-1956) settled in Cannes some years after her expulsion from Romania in 1947, when the Romanian People's Republic was proclaimed.
In France, she met the much younger aspiring artist Marc Favrat, who became her lover and whom she made her equerry and adopted in the year of her death. - With blind-embossed monogram..
