Beardsley (Aubrey) Autograph Letter signed to André Raffalovich, 4pp., Muriel, Exeter Rd, Bournemouth, , Feb 7, 1897, discussing his pleasure at having a book by Rachilde dedicated to him ("I shall treasure her dédicance"), his attendance at a coming concert "entirely composed of Tchaikovsky's music and including his wonderful Symphonie Pathétique", disputes between the Roman and Anglican churches as well as Beardsley's own religious turmoil ("I wish my dear André I felt anywhere near to getting the great Peace you write to me of"), creasing to foot, horizontal fold, preserved in custom folding chemise and morocco-backed slip-case, 8vo.

⁂ An excellent letter, written a little over a year before Beardsley's death to his close friend and principal influence in his late conversion to Catholicism, André Raffalovich. Beardsley's conversion would be formalised in March 1897.
