MILLET Jean-François [Gruchy, 1814 - Barbizon, 1875], French - Lot 248

MILLET Jean-François [Gruchy, 1814 - Barbizon, 1875], French painter. Autograph letter signed addressed to Mr. Brame. Barbizon, March 4, 1867; 2 pages in-8°. (margins a little faded without lack of text). "It is absolutely useful for me to know if the that you asked Dutoc for my geese, will be ready for the 10th of the present month, because you know that month, because you know that this 10th is the last term for the shipments to the salon. I would like very much to send this painting to send this painting, but I would like it to be with a border that does not cover too much, like the one the one that was sent to me some time ago. If this border, which I beg you to hurry, can be made in time can be made in time, send it to Mr. Hunt rue du Château des fleurs N°2 Champs-Elysées. It looks like it is for me. I will be very upset if I do not have it, because I would be quite prevented from exhibiting or I would do it with a border covering too much of my painting. Press! Press! and let me know whether it is YES or NO! I regret very much that I did not meet you the day I entered your house, which was the day I returned here. You had to leave that same day for Brussels. Please do not let your answer come later than Friday, and before if it is possible!
