Hector Berlioz

ALS in French, signed “H. Berlioz,” one page, 5 x 7.5, November 9, 1850. Handwritten letter to "Monsieur Riciardi," in part (translated): "I am going to make all necessary from today's date to contact Lumley and to talk to him about your affair. If I do not meet him this evening, I will write to him, and I will not neglect any opportunity to obtain a good response that I will promptly forward to you." Berlioz thanks his correspondent for having chosen him for this request, explaining that it is a proof of confidence. In very good to fine condition, with a rough top edge, light toning, and scattered light foxing.
