Description

Robert de MONTESQUIOU (1855-1921). L.A.S., Palais Rose January 2, 1910, to the Comtesse de Martel [Gyp]; 3pages large in-8, envelope. Charming letter thanking the Countess for sending a chocolate king cake: "I'm eating the good cake and as I'm eating it alone, I'll have to find the bean, willy-nilly. Then I'll rule my thoughts and feelings, I'll become King of my mind and my heart. It is to you that I will owe it, and that will make this double royalty even more precious to me"... In memory of Heine and Atta Troll, he proposes to name "this black pudding [...] the Freiligrath... because it resembles a negro and a drum"... He hopes to see her soon to "drown this baptism, in streams of rolls, chamades and chocolate!"...
