To his physician, Dr. Parenteau, asking him to come and see him before his departure because of a congestion: "Cher Docteur. Je suis encore congestioné! Juste au moment où je me dispose à faire mes malles, vous seriez bien aimable de venir me voir, j'ai pu éviter l'accident tous ces jours-ci car cela menacait plus ou moins enfin! Cette fois ça y est!! Je vous serre les mains".

Under his signature, Pissarro adds a brief postscript, giving the reason for the urgency of the matter: "Il faut cependant que je parte! Les fleurs vont disparaître!!!".

In very good condition; with central horizontal and vertical fold, a bit of mild toning, rusty paperclip mark along top edge, adhesive residue along left edge, and show-through from postmarks and printing on reverse.
