To the Polish pianist and composer Antoine de Kontski (1816-99), declining his invitation, as she has to leave the same night for a performance in Sens: "Croyant aller le 20 à Sens, Je me suis engagée pour chanter le lendemain dans une Matiné qu'on doit donner à quelques lieux de là; il me sera donc impossible d'assister à votre Concert puisque je serai forcée de partir le même soir […]". - With the former collector's number "29" in pencil. Traces of former mounting on verso; traces of old folds.
