Henri de TOULOUSE-LAUTREC (1864-1901). L.A.S. "Henri", [Paris July 1887], to his mother; 2 pages and a half in8. "The weather is awful, and I am all the more grumpy because I lost two days when I went to see Grenier [his friend the painter René Grenier] at the Campagne. You really should send him some wine. That's really promising too much to this boy. I hope you'll send him some good wine, plus a list of how he can get it and samples if possible. He had a crate made to carry Rachou's portrait [his portrait by Henri Rachou (Musée des Augustins, Toulouse)]. "As for my projects, you can do whatever you want, I'll always arrange it. I'll send you the note from Brédif (mystery) which amounts to 114 f if you want to send the cake directly to me or to him. Bourges [his childhood friend Henri Bourges and roommate] is at Mont Dore for his bronchial tubes, he'll be back. You have probably heard about his aunt's death in Bordeaux "... Correspondence (ed.
