In the letter, Leroux thanks a journalist at the "Journal musical", probably Baudouin La Londre, for a positive review of his opera "Venus et Adonis", which had premiered in 1897: "Les lignes si élogieuses que vous avez bien voulu consacrer à Venus et Adonis dans le Journal musical et je vous en exprime ma profonde reconnaissance [...]".

The visiting card was written to thank a Mr. Simon for an invitation to an event of an artists' society, possibly the "Cercle Artistique" in Nice: "Remercie Mr. Simon des heures charmants qu'il lui a permis de passer au Cercle Artistique, et le prie d'agréer les respectueux hommages l'expression de sa vive gratitude [...]".

The letter has been unprofessionally restored with adhesive tape and is somewhat creased.
