VERDI, Giuseppe. Two autograph letters signed to Giulio Ricordi, n.p. [Milan], n.d. ('Giovedì' and 'Sabato'), together 2½ pages, 8vo ; envelopes. Health and family affairs. Verdi is leaving immediately for Genoa, but writes to say that he is concerned by what he has heard 'intorno ai vostri affari di famiglia' [relating to your family affairs], and hopes to speak about it in person when Ricordi comes to join them. In a second letter, Verdi is charged by Peppina, who is busy packing for their departure for Sant'Agata, with thanking Ricordi for his kindness: 'but are you sure that these waters, so rejuvenating for you, could be good for me too? The nature of the evil is perhaps different and perhaps they will be no help to me'.
