Autographed letter signed to the art critic Jules-Joseph Arnoux.
One page in-8°. No date, Monday
“My dear Arnoux, I am absolutely forbidden to receive anyone: it is a series of brief, fifteen-minute conversations that have left me in my present state, just as I was beginning my convalescence. I have been confined for three months now, and I long to be free of it. Please accept my apologies. Write to me explaining the matter, and I will hasten to reply as soon as possible. Yours sincerely, Eug. Delacroix.”
