Leon TOLSTOY (1828-1910). L.S., Iasnaïa Poliana 15 December 1902 1 page in-8; in French. "As a general rule I authorise the publication of everything I write, without excepting my letters, the disposition of which depends on those to whom they are addressed. I would be very grateful if you would send me your latest novel, about which I hear a lot of good things, and which I am sure I will find to my liking. I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincerely sympathetic feelings. Attached are 3 old photographs (in-4, Russian stamp on back): his portrait, his estate at Iasnaïa Poliana, Tolstoy in his study at his work table.
