1 page. Octavo. Dated Paris, December 8, 18 87. In French with translation . Relative to rehearsals of Marie-Magdeleine, etc. It would be too late now, the night before, to tell you that on Friday I will be rehearsing Marie-Magdeleine all evening from 8 o'clock on, so... how annoying! Massenet goes on to tell his correspondent that it is a rehearsal in case of colds... and it's the prudent thing to do, asking him to keep that just between themselves.
