RAINER MARIA RILKE (1875-1926)
A 3-page autograph letter in German, signed, headed Château de Muzot, sur Sierre, Valais, 4 April 1922, to Mr. Tanner, informing him that he will receive their "Mitsow" soon, but that the reproductions did not turn out well. Rilke confirms that Baltusy ("die kleine Baltusy (K.)") was asked to design the decorations for a play at the national theatre, and that so far, the designs look very promising. In the next paragraph Rilke says that Hubert Landau came to see him, but that they missed each other. He concludes with the hope that Tanner will finally find somebody suitable for his drawings ("Hoffentlich fügt es sich, daß Sie, trotz der schlimmen Lage, von der wir sprachen, einen Amateur für diese Zeichnungen erhalten. Irgend einer, der noch fähig wäre, seinen Geschmak und Neigungen freier nachzugeben. Vielleicht gelingts").
