To a reviewer with thanks for an article that could not have been friendlier, more benevolent, or more eloquent: "Je suis on ne peut plus sensible à l'aimable article que vous avez bien voulu me consacrer. On n'est pas plus sympathique, plus indulgent et on ne s'exprime pas en termes plus délicats. Croyez, à toute ma gratitude [...]". With a former collector's note in pencil that suggests a Mr. "Predagnel" as the recipient (unverified).

To his friend André with congratulations on his latest success about which he and his wife have heard from the recipient's grandmother, mentioning that his son Paul Droz, who is still in Paris, has not yet heard the good news: "Bravo, mon cher André, pour ce double succés que nous annonce madame votre grand-mère. Ma femme vous adresse toutes ses félicitations et je vous serre cordialement les deux mains. Paul est à Paris pour quelques jours et ignore encore vos triomphes mais il y sera, comme nous, bien sensible. Veuillez, mon cher André, offrir à vos deux mamans mes hommages les plus respectueux [...]".

With a portrait cabinet card. One letter with a tiny marginal tear. Traces of former mounting on verso.
