Summary
Requesting help for the Spanish Post-Impressionist painter Francisco Iturrino, who asked Faure to write to Rosenberg on his behalf. Iturrino finds himself in a desperate financial situation, unable to paint because he has had his leg amputated, and Faure is offering Rosenberg all of Iturrino's work in the hope of receiving an advance that will help him to return to work and good health.
