The letter, containing a sketch of a painted fan, is written to a friend about an order for the sister of the railway president Derville and her niece, for two painted fans that Cain has completed: "Je viens de faire 2 éventails pour Mlle Derville (sœur de notre ami le président du PLM) [...] C'est un extrait d'un chef d'œuvre que je vous signale! [...] Et aussi les éventails desous exquis! Grace à Vous [...]".
Humorous invitation for tea with a portrait caricature, written to a friend whom Cain needs to see as soon as possible: "Que devenez vous donc affreux lacheur. J'ai à vous parler, les plus tôt possible SVP. Je vous avertis que Vendredi vous étiez de soirée chez moi, 20 sous et 2 tasses du thé [...]".
The postcard to a Madame Japy at Montreux Palace with a half-page profile portrait in pen and ink: "Envoi de George Cain".
Slightly browned; the invitation with slight inkstains; the postcard and a letter with collector's note in pencil.
