A letter, in French, from the tenor Ernest Nicolini at Craig-y-nos, Ystradgynlais, 8 February 1889, to [an executive of the Messageries Maritimes shipping company], discussing the forthcoming voyage by himself and his wife, the soprano Adelina Patti, on board the Portugal from Bordeaux to Buenos Aires, and their extravagant cabin requirements (f. 5).
Also included is a half-tone print depicting Nicolini, apparently taken from a copy (not seen) of Charles F. Escher, Our Hearts' Delight (Philadelphia, 1892) (f. 6).
