Autograph Letter Signed: "Ernest Dimnet" in black ink. 3p, 5¼x6¾ integral leaf. Written on
stationery containing the address “Three Hundred Park Avenue” at header. To “Dear Madam
and friend”. In French, translated in part: “I am sorry. I saw (name difficult to decipher)
dance, which cheered me up……your beautiful book that needs to be touched up by chlorine or a
proofreader. Apart from that, there isn't a man more content than I am. I saw you and played
with you smart friend and I'll wait for you in Paris./ When will you be here? The telephone is
Plaza 1188 and I would like it a lot if you would think of me there one morning./ Thanks again
for your constant attention (and for your introduction yesterday)…” Ernest Dimnet
(1866-1954) was a French cleric, author, and philosopher. His best known work, The Art
of Thinking (1930), purportedly improves the reader's concentration by following a few
simple practices. Dimnet is also well regarded for his popular French translations of
English books written by Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Bronte. Normal mailing fold.
Corners and edges gently worn. Lightly toned. Otherwise, fine condition.
