"My dear Mr. Delzant What a sorrow to have missed you, Sunday [at the Concert Lamoureux]; but especially not to be able to respond Friday to your friendly invitation, behold I am taken now, that day and a few others, a little beyond the lunch hour, by a lesson [of English to Ernest Chausson]. But that's all in the past, at least the pleasure of shaking your hand, among the precious papers"... Provenance: Armand Godoy collection.
