Both are in gilt-decorated lavender cloth binding, with the brunette copy still accompanied by its original glassine jacket in rather remarkably unharmed condition for such a fragile item the jacket would fit either copy, of course.
Both copies with very light peripheral wear, near fine.

Œuvres complètes
Italian tenor; perhaps the most famous operatic singer in history. Berlin, October 11, To his "petite Rosette. In French with translation. My success here is so great that it is called monstrous! Dear little friend, take my best regards as well as my admiration. Yours - My respect to your dear ones. In December , Caruso began experiencing trouble with his voice, necessitating the cancellation of a series of Metropolitan Opera performances, at a time when he was appearing in Massenet's Manon for the first time in the United States.
In May , he canceled the remainder of the season at the Met and went to Milan where he underwent a surgical procedure to remove a node from his larynx. Despite attempting to keep the matter private, the press got wind of it and the story became international news. After convalescing in Europe over the summer he embarked on a concert tour through the British Isles and then an eight-opera tour through Germany, including Berlin, whence he penned our letter.
Caruso had always been popular in Berlin: Caruso had a string of love affairs with married women, the most prominent and passionate of which was his year liaison with soprano Ada Gianchetti, who bore him four sons. In , Ada left Caruso for their chauffeur, and around the same time, he began a love affair with the married Mildred "Mil" Meffert, whom he had already promised to marry by the time of our letter.
Their relationship lasted until , overlapping with Caruso's love affair with and engagement to Ada's sister Rina Gianchetti. That relationship ended abruptly with his marriage to a young American, Dorothy Park Benjamin, a relative of the American autograph dealer Mary Benjamin, and with whom he remained until his death.
Our flirtatious letter is likely written to a mezzo-soprano who played the role of Rosette in a current production of Manon.
