HECTOR BERLIOZ. ANS, 1 p., small 8vo, n.p., n.d. The composer writes enthusiastically to critic Leon Escadin in response to an article. In full: "My dear Escadin: I come to shake your hand and thank you for your superb and warm article. Rarely has anyone written about my compositions with so many remarkable insights and made me so happy." Good condition, with light soiling in the lower right corner and a faint water stain in the lower left corner, slightly touching three letters of the text. The exceedingly thin paper is extremely fragile and a tear has already appeared along the lower left edge. It is currently contained within a rigid plastic top loader for protection.
