Monet, Claude

Autograph letter signed, 2 pages (8 x 5 in.; 204 x 129 mm), in French, Vetheuil, 22 December 1879, to Monsieur de Bettio accompanied by autograph envelope postmarked and stamped; some yellowing and two light spots on second page; matted and framed with an image of Monet

Out of communication but working away. Noting his correspondent must think him lost or swallowed by the snow, Monet explains he has only been working a great deal. He plans to be in Paris the following day and invites Monsieur de Bettio to his home to view a few canvases, especially some that must be delivered at once.
