Guy de MAUPASSANT. L.A.S., [Paris June 11, 1890], to the Countess Potocka; 2 pages oblong in-12 with her figure, envelope. Charming and gallant letter. "Where does it come from that one guesses in others, without knowing what or why, friendly impulses and benevolent intentions. Was I mistaken? It seemed to me that you were very kind to me yesterday; I do not mean kind in appearance (you always are) but kind in thought. It pleased me. I didn't show it to you. I want to write and thank you for it. Many little things are pleasant to me without my being able to express it, because I am very closed, little things that are not manifest, but that one feels rather in the air. From you, they are very sweet to me. You know it a little, I believe, I wanted to repeat it to you. Farewell, Madam, I kiss your hands with a very deep devotion ".
