In late 1906, a girl wrote to Puccini, sending her photograph, and asking for one from Puccini. He apparently knew her family and responded with this Autograph letter signed, November 11, 1906, Paris, on Grand Hotel de Londres letterhead. “Dear Miss, A thousand and thousand thanks for your photography. I will reciprocate as soon as I receive one from the photographer – at present I don’t have one – but the first one that I shall receive will be yours. My respects to your dear mother.”
