Henry BECQUE (1837-1899). L.A.S., to Steinlen; 1 and a half pages in-8 (crack in fold repaired). He has been ill for two weeks: "I am going through a very acute and persistent attack of eczema, which does not let me rest for a moment. He cannot respond to the invitation: "tell the newlyweds from me that I really don't have a chance with them"... On the back of the letter, graphological analysis in pencil.
