To a friend with congratulations on his work, of which he hopes to receive a copy: "Je suis très content de votre triomphe [...] Recevrai-je votre chef d'oeuvre?".

To a friend cancelling their meeting the next day, due to his promise to attend a performance of his opera "Louise", an appointment he had almost forgotten: "J'avai oublié que demain j'ai promis d'être à Louise - qui passe en soirée! [...] C'est un gros malheur! Je l'avais si peu prévu. Vous pardonnez à mon étourderie que vient de m'apparaitre tantôt dans toute la candeur [...]". On headed stationery of the Oeuvre de Mimi Pinson, an association providing the workingwomen of Paris with free theatre tickets, as well as free music and dance classes, founded by Charpentier in 1900.

A visiting card expressing his condolences: "Mon coeur bat avec le votre en ces douleureux moments. Mes hommages respectueux [...]".

Slightly creased; visiting card with small rust stains.
