The dated letter to an unidentified lady concerns her subscription to a concert series of the Paris conservatory and the closing of the conservatory's concert hall in Rue Bergère (Rue du Conservatoire). Viguier informs the recipient that he met his friend, the cellist and conservatory professor Hippolyte Rabaud, who assured him of the continuation of her subscription. He laments the closing of the concert hall, where he had been a "soloist and member of the society" for so long. Viguier doubts plans to reconstruct the concert hall on the site of military barracks: "Like you, I believe that we will never regain what we have lost".

In the undated letter Viguier announces that he will send a concert programme.

Both letters with traces of former mounting. The letter from 1897 with some foxing.
