RENOIR, PIERRE-AUGUSTE. (1841-1919). French painter. Increasingly uncommon Autograph Letter Signed, “Renoir,” in French. One full page, octavo. Louveciennes, September 9, 1900. Very fine condition. To “My dear friend.” Renoir writes:

“I think that it is 51 rue des Dames. I am mixed up with the addresses. I wrote to Gallimand to bring you to dinner one evening tomorrow Monday if you can (Lievre) or Tuesday. I still have to leave again for Aix les Bains as quickly as possible if I don’t want to freeze there. If I cannot see you it will mean my returning at the end of the month. I am very guilty. I should have written to you sooner. But I am always traveling around. I don’t think I can leave for Grasse before October 15. I’ll have a little time in Paris I hope. I’ll be able to have you over. I received your kind letter and I am most touched by it. Yours, Renoir. 7 rue Moubuisson, near the station. [P.S.] The 5:45 train, Marly-le-Roi Line.”
