Giacomo PUCCINI (1858-1924). L.A.S. "Giacomo", Milano May 31, 1908, to Sybil Seligman in London; 1page small in-4 to his address Via Verdi,4, Milano, address on verso; in Italian. He has received the pretty wallet, quite to his liking, and thanks his friend. He's still ill and bedridden; nothing serious, but it's annoying; an unpoetic intestinal disorder: "Io sono sempre ammalato e da ieri a letto - non è cosa grave ma è nojoso è un disturbo intestinale ribelle - cosa poco poetica". So he can't decide whether to come, but it will be difficult because of work and also because of Elvira and a thousand other considerations... On the back, he adds a few words in red ink asking when Nellie Melba will sing Tosca.
