Letter from Henri Blaze de Bury, Paris?, to Baroness Marie Blaze de Bury, undated : autograph manuscript signed.

A passionate and risqué love letter in which he extols her peerless beauty. He wonders if a woman as beautiful as she is will be able to continue to love him. She is no longer his equal but his superior: she reigns, and he must obey. He says that she has blossomed from her boyish ways into a very beautiful woman, who will attract many men and of whom women will be jealous. Her beauty is a force of which she cannot be conscious -- it's a natural electric vibration that she did not possess when she was younger, before becoming an experienced, sensuous woman.
