Sarah BERNHARDT (1844–1923) Autograph letter signed "Sarah" to Paul Bilhaud. 6 pages on two sheets of paper folded in her signature style, bearing the motto "Quand même." “I am desperate, but I read and reread it. I can no longer play a courtesan [...] I will compensate you...” Sarah Bernhardt has decided not to perform in *La Courtisane de Corinthe* by Paul Bilhaud and Michel Carré, which premiered in 1908, even though she had already commissioned costumes and jewelry and expanded the cast (Jane Leroy and Magda). Hoping for an amicable solution and regretting causing distress, she offers to provide a new play and expresses her sadness.
