COLETTE (Sidonie-Gabrielle). - Lot 74

COLETTE (Sidonie-Gabrielle). Born in Saint-Sauveur-en-Puisaye (Yonne). 1873-1954. French novelist. Member of the Académie Goncourt. L.A.S. "Colette" to "Chère voisine-amie". S.l.n.d. [Paris]. 2 pp. in-4 on slate blue paper. Charming letter: Colette worries about not seeing her neighbor in the Palais-Royal: ...Your neighbor-friends are very disappointed not to see you! Be sure to get well! If I hear you're careless, I'll get terribly angry. Haven't you ever seen me angry? It's a frightening sight. Pauline brings you this note, which contains our wishes for your recovery, our best wishes for the whole family (and I haven't forgotten the briard, the parakeets or the cardinal!) and my impatience to see you. Madame Hélène has just brought me a pretty little blouse!
