Enriched copy with a signed autograph letter from Maurice Ravel to Tristan Leclère, dated December 8, 1919: "Dear friend, your letter, dated Sunday evening, took 8 days to reach me in Fervaal's country - and his father's - in a big house where I'm all alone, and which is itself pretty far from everything. This house is the birthplace of Aphrodite - by Louÿs, eh! - I don't know what bouqin de Régnier and, no doubt, a few works by its owner, A.-F. Hérold. I couldn't have chosen a better place to try and get back into the swing of things, which I couldn't do in Saint-Cloud, which I'd been meaning to do all summer. And then I started to get tired again... So please excuse me, and apologize to Mlle S. de T.. I expect to be back towards the end of January. In the meantime, my warmest regards to you and the affectionate thoughts of your devoted Maurice Ravel". Expert : M. Nicolas ASVISIO
