^Lot 785 Ambroise Thomas

French composer of light operas (1811–1896). ALS in French, one page, 5 x 8.25, February 1870. Letter to Denis. In full (translated): “I am writing to ask you for the third box you were kind enough to promise me for tonight. A good box for six if possible. Thank you. I shake your hand.” Along the left edge, Thomas adds a brief postscript, “3rd box—in the old gallery right?” In fine condition, with a trivial spot to bottom.
